Thank you Mark, for starting this thread.

Without boring you with all the details, John Bretz is a 'founding father' of ST.
One day I got a wild hair up my ass and decided I could do it better than the other guy.

John was one of the first people I contacted about my idea because I sensed we shared the same frustration.

Sure enough, he was on board 100%.

I never got to meet John in person but I feel like I knew him as well as I know my next door neighbor. I hope they have golf in heaven and that we get to meet there (of course there's no golf in heaven because as we all know....it's the devil's game!).

Internet relationships are funny things. You develop bonds with people you almost never get to meet and then something like this happens and you are (at least I am) feeling empty. Probably because of the lack of physical contact and of the thought of what might have been.

I am greatly saddened by the loss.

Rest in peace John.
