Zaphodeist
I received a sad message on Facebook from John's (Zaphodeist) cousin, Christine that John died over the past weekend. John was very private and although we never communicated directly, he posted frequently on TG and we always "Liked" each other's posts on Facebook. I will post more details as they become available.
May John's memory be a blessing.

Re: Zaphodeist
I have just wanted to congratulate for John on the Facebook, that this evening Liverpool won 3:0 against Man City in the Champions League. He was a big Liverpool fan.
Then just read there the sad news :(
You'll Never Walk Alone John, you saw the todays match from the heaven then.

Re: Zaphodeist
I have asked Christine, John's cousin to post details here re: funeral arrangements and any other related events.
According to Christine, John was a very private person (I am guessing he lived alone). So TalkGraphics and Facebook were probably a virtual family for him.

Re: Zaphodeist
John was an amazing person with great humour, which shined through even the virtual channels.
On Facebook his name was Zaphodeist Fortytwo, the number 42 in that referrred to the famous book with title "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" :)
He had very good knowledge about Xara, on the XaraUsers Forum was also Moderator and always welcomed everyone. Never will forget the Off-topic chats, that was so big fun with him, not only about the football or the universe, just about anything, for example he also liked the music very much.
As an artist John was the master of transparencies in my opinion, just some examples from his collection drawn by Xara
