Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

I hope he is in a better place.

My sincere condolences to all who have had the pleasure of knowing this man.

He's now posting on the big board where we all have a membership reserved for us and I'm sure he'll have our assignments ready and waiting when we arrive.

May he rest in peace, and my condolences and sympathy to all his family and friends.

Very sad news!

Although i rarely came into contact with WOS, i am aware just how important he was to this site,and how sorely he will be missed!

I think i take it for granted,that every member of this site will be around forever,and it can come as quite a shock to hear of a members passing,after all, i seem to think of the members here as an extended family!

God speed WOS!

May God bless his family and close friends that loved him.

They will be in my prayers.

Condolences to the family.

Rest in Peace, long-time fighter. Your battle for truth is over, but your quest & lifetime mission remains. We proudly pick up your torch & hope to carry it as well as you did.

RIP, Bro. In reverence, I will deny ignorance with this one-line post. God bless.

R.I.P. WOS

I did not know of WOS until this morning after noticing this tread and searching who WOS was.
Although i do not know you, i truly wish i had. May your soul rest in peace and may you finally be at peace. You are in a better place.

R.I.P.

This is not the end.
Love.

Wow I was unaware he was dealing with cancer! Im currently going through the same thing with my grandfather and its a horrible way to see people go!

However Im proud that he took his fate with pride and never gave in!

Ive only seen a few postings from him, but he was a great contributor to our network!

However, Im glad he is now a peace, and one can only imagine what the transition is like. Truly personal and humbling experience im sure. Lets all hope "he" is somewhere out there still, getting to see/experience the "other side"

WOS, rest in peace. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

We`ve lost another great friend…again.

Rest in peace, John.

Condolences to the family

John,

It’s the damndest thing. I never knew you. I literally never typed a single letter or digit to you. I’ve never spoken to you and never heard from you. I don’t know you. I do know two things however.

First, I know people, and if some of these fine folks are here and hurt that much over the loss of your days then you must have been one hell of a spirit and that is a shame for me that I never met you.

Second, I know this site, although not as much as many of these posters. I am a hardcore skeptic and even though I disagree with a lot here I have met some of the finest minds on ATS. Why does this matter? Because you helped make this possible. I’ve always said of a forum that the owners and admins create and the members sustain. Well sir, from a loyal ATS’er I say…

You made one HELL of an impact…and that’s coming from a guy who doesn’t even know who you are

Rest in peace and may all the compassion of this world be with your family

I am sad to hear the news my condolences go out to his family and friends in my brief communications with him in the past I always thought of him as Mr nice guy, who could not have liked him.
