Sorry to hear this Barb RIP Jon!

I want to let you know that Jon Miller died this morning of a sudden heart attack. Up until early this morning he seemed fine on his forum. He will be greatly missed by many of us fish folk. His specialty was amazing angelfish. I will cherish my 10 Koi I have from him.

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
I felt numb when you told me this morning on the phone, Barb. He was a good friend to me.

In his honor I just wrapped up the story "The Epic Tale of Earl" on Mugwump's Fish World forum. He and I really enjoyed it. It was my favorite part of the forum for some reason. Please do go check it out before his son must close down the forum. Thank you.

So sorry to hear Barb. I remember Jon from way back when i joined. May he rest in peace.
We're here for a good time...not a long time
Jon and I have been friends for at least 10 years when we started meeting at the swap meets. We always requested tables together. I could always count on him to have a big smile and a hug ready. In this world there are not too many people like Mugsy, with really a warm and genuine heart. This is a shock. I will miss him greatly. ... Miranda
Hey guys, I texted with Al today to let him know about Jon and he would like to know if there’s anything he could do to help keep Jon’s forum alive. If anybody knows the family and could relay that message to see if there’s any interest, that would be amazing.

That is incredibly kind of someone who has too much on his shoulders with his own problems. Even if I knew any of them, the forum must be the furthest thing from their minds right now.
You might post it on Matt's thread. I imagine he'll read it at some point. I'm surprised at how knocked out I am buy this news. I thought that Muggers would always be there.
Mama Bear
His forum is still there and you can still login.

I know. I'm thinking about starting a Monday thread, but it seems so sad without Jon.
Mama Bear
I agree, but maybe we can keep it going for awhile. Lots of people have been looking there I see. Earl's story especially!
Barb
I'm doing my part, Barb. Ron is trying, too.

Jon has a GoFundMe page. Could really use the help. Pls click on the link. His daughter in law wrote something for those of you who don’t know Jon.
Here’s the link:

Thanks, Joel. Don't know why I didn't think to post it here. Most fish folks I know are generous with what they have.

What is the forums name? From what I just read I wish I had known about it sooner
