I'm not from the States and I didn't know John personally, but I'm sorry to hear about John passing away. I was in several swaps with John and I have a fly that I would like to send to this swap - Flamethrower salmon fly. Let me know if you can wait for 2 weeks for it to arrive.
My condoulences on the loss of John to his family.

My heart dropped when I heard of Bassman's passing. Like many others I never had the chance to meet him, but I looked forward to being in swaps with him. I always knew I would be recieving great quality flies from him. He will be dearly missed. Count me in with a Universal Nymph.

I will go through my swap collections and pick out the Bassman flies to put them in a special place in honour of my friend, Bassman.
My prayers go out to His family and friends which includes all of us here at FAOL.
For God's sake, Don't Quote me! I'm Probably making this crap up!

I just sent him some snowshoe hare's feet a short while back. Pretty obvious they were not lucky... I hope he at least got try tying with them.

One of John's swaps was my first swap. I am sad.
Please count me in with a Flying Ant pattern.

I considered John one of my best friends here on FAOL. He always encouraged everyone one to join a swap and helped them with tying. He always had kind words for everyone's fly's even the ugly ones I used to send. I never met him in person but knew him preaty well. I know his love for his family was his number one priority and his fly tying came second. I just got a email from him last week. I am shocked to say the least. John knew I loved my steelhead fishing so I am tying a polor shrimp on a number 4 salmon hook. Blue I will need your address again thanks.
Ol' blue count me in with a pink clouser.
