I'd heard of Passivearts before, but I didn't realize it had such an integral position within the community.
Truly an awful thing to have happened.
Oh my gosh. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I've never met John but I wish I had, he seems like such a nice person.
On a side note, I do have to say, I appreciate the news coverage. For a very vanilla media outlet, the various articles and especially that video snippet have been very professional and factual, and haven't cast John or his club in any kind of negative light.
I hope justice is promptly served. 🙁
Steph, my god I remember how much fun he was giving us the tour the first time. You two joked around a bunch. I am going to miss and cherish those moments.
John backed the West Coast Gatherings in many, many ways. Man had our backs, and the crew is gonna miss him terribly.
Son of a fucking bitch.
Classy guy running a classy operation, fellow animal lover, family man and one hell of a party thrower. How much fun did we have here over the years? HOW did the sick fuck who did this pull it off and in the middle of the day like that? (Shakes head) Condolences to John's family and those who loved him. It's the end of an era, friends, I am just sick about this.
Much love,
Me
I`m still sick over this news.🙁 I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it. John was a true friend of the tickling community, and ran a wonderful business. It seems like employee/employer violence has become a real problem in this country, and sadly there are no easy answers.
