Ode to John Gugie

The G-Man

Stephen Joltin
You have to admire this man.
His accomplishments are legion.
He is a loyal friend, and gets things done.
Creative, assertive, talented
And always there with helpful advice
Hard shell, soft interior
It is a pleasure to know him.
John rules!

    I did not hear this before - thank you for letting me know Shana.. I like to think of all the good things John did. Except for a few spats, he ran a good list. He got me to write poems and then to write for AC, which I still get a monthy stipend from views. He was very encouraging to me while I did this. I give him many kudos for his efforts. When he was good he was very loyal friend to me and many others. Given the pain and disability he must have been in, he was in fewer bad moods than I myself would be in. If there is a Heaven I hope they have a special place for him where he can walk, run and enjoy nature. I hope they have a great movie selection in Heaven since I know he likes these.

    You have heard the phrase "friends with benefits", John just had "Friends with accidents". He was a good man and I for one will miss him.

    I'm sorry to say that John has passed away. I didn't know him, but he will be missed. He was a part of our AC family.

    This poem is so wrong it's not funny. If you want to truly know what kind of a man that egotistical gnome called John Gugie is please PM me freely and I can give you a few emails for people who would love to share their thoughts on this pain in the ass.
