John "Tipster" Consterdine

[WebbPA]

To one of the best friends I never saw and never spoke to.  I thank the internet and SimV for bringing us together.  I knew you like a brother.

To FSTipster,

Raise a glass with on New Years Eve.  You are missed.

I'm new on this forum,and i've never heard of Mr Consterdine,but I hope  now he's flying better skyes.
RIP.

I am new as well and never got the chance to get to know Mr. Consterdine. No matter, it hurts regardless.

My condolences to his family. I dedicate a song to him...

Im sure he is flying that Baron up in the great vast airspace, cleared and number 1 for landing.

I've been looking over some of the stuff that John wrote, before he went missing. Some things that somebody should have caught on, but didn't.

I doubt I'll be around long enough.

One can but hope.

I'll soon be able to use the "If you've got nothing left, you've got nothing to lose"

I'd hate to miss out on all that good stuff!

(This could be argued good, or bad, but it seemed to be significant to me. I don't know why.)

I don't go there any more

(Maybe in his "giving up")

John went unemployed and consequently could not always afford things like the phone and internet bills.

I doubt I'll be around long enough.

Again, if I remember right, he wasn't sure if he was gonna be able to pay his for the internet & phone, and did eventually end up going offline when he wasn't able to afford it

I remember when his internet service was due to cancel, some generous member paid his bill. I always wondered who did this kind act.

It was pete as I recall. Well done mate - an act of a true gentleman.

BTW it's now a year since the community lost John. I think he's missed as much as ever by those who had any sort of contact with him.

[Anti-Societys Snake]

I just read this topic... I never met this man... and I don't... but damnit I cried for this man.

Could some post what happend to him? The link does not work.

Might I also suggest that some one put johns RTW paln up for dload on the site? For memorial recreation.

There is discussion now of closing Johns site due to lack of attendance.

Johns memory is maintained here and I feel that Motov has done a marvellous job maintaining the site for this amount of time and should be congratulated.

I would suggest that everyone go to Johns site and express to Motov their appreciation and support for his decision to close the site and so ease his burden.

Uhh, wrong thread.

[tsunami_KNUW]

Wow....even though I never met him or heard of him till now, I still feel the grief. I'm sure he was a great man and I wish I had the oppurtunity to meet and know him.  :(

May he live on forever...

OK - it's been agreed that the time has come to cut the sticky on this & let it fall gracefully into the archives.

John was a great helper here on these forums - among other places. Dedicated to FS, he rarely was unable to find the answer to a problem - & entertained & helped many 100's of people - possibly 1000's.

John! Respect.......  8)
