Tragic news... Mo was one of the "original" members of AFF and a great contributor for all those years.
Mo, your wit and common-sense posts will be hugely missed, as will YOU, mate!
My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.
RIP Mo.... Definitely "One of a kind"

Oh no.

MO (John) was from up here. I met him personally on a cruise once and he was just a great guy with a million stories and a wonderful laugh.

Condolences to Heather and all of his extended family.

Rest in Peace John, you will be missed.

Unhappy Re: R.i.p "mo"

John has been helping me with words of encouragement about my alcoholism for years and wanted me to get into photography because it would be a cheaper hobby than working on my car and i would get a lot of enjoyment out of it...

Never once had he shared his own health problems with me.

I had no idea and am truly saddened i was unable to support him.

RIP John... a True Gentleman ...
