Sad news, John was a knowledgeable gentleman. Always willing to share his knowledge and listen to other opinions and solutions 

He will be missed

Godspeed, John.

John was a great person, always willing to help you out. I'm glad I have saved his texts and emails. Have frequently reviewed some of his load data and pictures of targets he was so proud of. As Jerry said, John was a big part in making the Modesto matches so enjoyable.

Losing a knowledge base and so much experience is always sad. I can't speak about his life or him personally but only a big piece of it that I know was very important to him. And so though we never cut tracks personally Mr. Louis generously shared his knowledge with a neophyte like me. He struck me as a natural teacher

We weren't that far apart in age but light years in experience. My last conversations with him were pretty much centered on a new powder he was testing, Alliant 300 MP. These final talks revealed so much about a special shooter and his methods for chasing the one hole group and the powder and loads to achieve the ultimate. I was very sorry when he quit posting here and worse when we lose a guy like this without leaving his notebook and findings for those who follow.

John, Barry Darr, Charlie Dell, Paul Amberger, Jim Borton, Bob Fitzgerald, and I had many a chat on the old forums chat room! Sure do miss those days and those who have left us. RIP, John!
