eagle90 123 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My deepest sympathies also. A voice of reason and calm has been lost. Dale Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So sad. He took the time when I was a newbie to send me some good campout ideas in my part of Florida. He was in the area a while back and he wanted to swing by my Troop--we just couldn't hook up. I always wanted to meet him but always thought there was more time. Link to post Share on other sites
Tokala 16 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My sympathies to his family in this sudden and sad time. His contributions to this forum and Scouting will be missed. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1525 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 "That Friend speaks my mind". I've come to think that , contrary to the usual saying that "it's the company a man keeps" that says alot about him, so much as "It's the company that keeps HIM," that says alot about the man. "he has gone home" Link to post Share on other sites
Eagledad 2659 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I can't express my shock and grief. He was a great scouter and made this a better place. I know he loved this scouting stuff. He is missed. Barry Link to post Share on other sites
BadenP 93 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Man I will truly miss OGE and his posts. Even when we disagreed he always made me smile. He was a man who dearly loved scouting and will surely be missed by all who knew him. He was a great and very fair moderator here in this forum. OGE I know you are with the great Almighty now enjoying your eternal reward. Blessings and comfort to your family and friends, you will indeed be missed. Link to post Share on other sites
koolaidman 110 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My prayers go out for OGE's family and friends. I've only known of him from this forum, but I will miss him and his posts. Link to post Share on other sites
Old_OX_Eagle83 212 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 As an Eagle the greatest frustration comes from having a body that is bound to this earth, and a spirit that desires to ride the thermals to heights only imagined. I can only imagine the joy John now knows, as he is free of the bonds of this earth, as may soar to the very heavens. Link to post Share on other sites
WilVick 10 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Prayers and positive thoughts on John's behalf and to the entire family. I always looked forward to reading his well thought out responses. He was truly a great guide to all of us who came to know him here. May the Great Master of all Scouts be with us until we meet again. Happy trails, Old Grey Eagle. Link to post Share on other sites

le Voyageur 72 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I've been away from this forum for a while and decided to poke my head up here...needless to say, this was more then a shock. I never met OGE in person, but we did become friends sharing our love of reenacting via emails and messages. Belated sympathies to the Arno family, your John and our OGE will indeed be missed... en roulant mon ami. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 How very sad. I kept meaning to take the time to visit him at the Haggis eating festival held near where he lives in September. I haven't been around much since the site changed and I was unable to post Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
