May you fly free John, and find all the answers you sought in life. You will be remembered with fondness and admiration by many.

RIP William One Sac.

My condolencec to all of his loved ones, may you find the strength to help you through this difficult time.

RIP John. Thanks for everything.

I've only been a member for a short time, but a long tim reader. John's input and contribution was always amazing, so full of insight and what truly represents the core of ATS.

You're flying free among the stars now, experiencing things we can only dream of..
Rest in the surest most serene peace wherever you are John.

Damn shame.
When I first joined William One Sac was the creator of mighty fine threads and podcasts.He had a great attitude,and was a nice guy.
My thoughts are with his family.

Another star has lit up the heavens.

We won't forget you William One Sac.

Wow... this is such sad news.

Rest in Peace William One Sac. The ATS family has lost an important member and this loss will be felt for a very long time.

Sounds like a beautiful soul, I wish I could have known him.
He now has the answers he was looking for.

I never knew him other than interacting with him in chat once not too long ago. And what a hell of a nice guy.

Rest in peace, John.

Sad news. My condolences to all his friends and family.

Love is forever.

RIP WOS...

Your words will be missed.

Back to the tree you go.

Rest in Peace my friend

Its been said before I will say it again
Rest In Peace, John.

John was a good man, he will be missed by many.

May God bless and accept his soul.
May he rest eternally in the sight of God.
What a wonderful place be.

Rest in peace John.

His character shows through at the end of the video.

RIP William One Sac.

Godspeed, William One Sac.

I didn't know the man personally so I just wanted to offer condolences to those of you who did. It is apparent that he is missed tremendously.

What a legacy to leave behind, huh? Good for him! Imagine the secrets he knows now!

Someone once said, "Someday your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it is worth watching."

It appears John's was worth watching, and I look forward to the reruns.

R.I.P.

For those of you that never had the pleasure of interacting with John, allow me to shed some light on the kind of man he was.

I was fortunate enough to pay him a visit last week and when we (Springer, Djarums and I) arrived, he was grateful for our visit and apologetic that we had to drive out to Long Island, take off from work etc to come see him.

The first thing he did, after thanking us for coming, was hand Springer a birthday card and a gift. The man is dying. He's got weeks or less left to live and his priority was to get a card and a present for someone else.

Then, after some catching up, after playing something that a few staffers perpared for him, we mentioned our intention to set up a charity in his name. He looked at as and, in his soft spoken manner, said "wow, that's really great, I want to make a donation."

I had to then explain to him that, no, he couldn't and, hopefully, we wouldn't be making contributions for a long time.

Here he is, dying, and he's thinking of helping others.

I was lucky enough to spend time with John on three separate occaisions. I'm a far better person for it.

Very sad news.

I have seen the disease up close and it takes a special person to take it in stride.

Have fun out there WOS!

A very sad day for ATS. Rest in Peace dear friend, we will miss you.

His spirit has moved on and he now knows all the answers to the questions we all ask his pain is ended and he will be waiting to greet us all with a wink and an exclamation of "can you believe it".

Those of us who have been here awhile are better for knowing John. Your presence will be missed but your contributions and spirit will go on here for sure.
