I met John online. His candor and eloquence was moving, especially about his beloved late wife. A good and kind man. Rest in peace and love, good sir.

I'm another online friend saddened by John's passing. He was a true southern gentleman in word and deed. I am heartened by my belief that he is now free from pain and reunited with his loved ones.
He fought the good fight.

I also knew him from a political website. He was a very kind man who spoke warmly and lovingly of both his first and second wife and he had a great affection for his dogs. From the comments he wrote on his own blog and his comments at the political website he was clearly a gentleman in the best sense of the word. May perpetual light shine upon him. May the Lord comfort his family and friends.

I only knew him from his comments on the political blog Ace.mu.nu but he will be missed.

My God welcome and rest his soul.  We will remember John.

God rest his soul; and I pray for the reunification of his soul and Emily's together under God's light.

When my sister Emily passed away John lost the glue that held his life together. I hope and pray that he is now back in her loving arms! Perhaps he'll pass along a kiss from me!

John was a man of many talents and a man of many lives - those "dead worlds, floating away into the past" that he used to talk about. He could spin a yarn like no other, wrapping you in the magic of his words as he described life long ago on the island or the simple adventure of navigating life without his beloved Emily.  He was in all things a gentleman.  Rest in peace, John, you've earned it.

Irreverent, tough, forthright and kind. He'll be with his beloved once more. Godspeed, backhoe. Sean Ollech (TX)

John, to imagine that you're once again with your beloved Emily gives perspective to our missing you and makes it easier to bear.

Farewell, FRiend

When Miss Emily passed, a big part of him went with her. John put pen to paper of their life and love, then as he finished his story, he joined her. They just don't make many men like that any more. 

Rest in peace, my friend. 

F.H.

John "Backhoe" Rollinson was a gentleman at all times, and his wisdom and commentary never failed to brighten my day or make me think.  Although Earth is a sadder and more lonely place today, Heaven has gained an angel. God rest his beautiful soul.

I was so saddened to receive this news.my thoughts and prayers will be with John. He will be missed.

John was a kind gentle man.  He could tell stories that captivated you and brought you to relive simpler times in the beautiful south.  I will miss him and pray that he has found peace and is reunited with his loved ones.

Although I never had the chance to meet John in person, he was a very important part of our online "family". We will miss his humour, his wisdom, his refreshing frankness and his faithful friendship.  We love you, John!

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend.  Someone who saves your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you smile and brings you flowers. Someone who shows you there is still good in this world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship...I will miss you, John.  Always, M
