But, it won't be a quick read. Snoredog's posts were pretty long.

My wife will miss Snoredog's avatar that tickled her. She would always ask, "How did he do that?" hell if I know>

I'll miss you, guy. I'll keep these bi-levels chugging, hoping to assist with some nocturnal WOB (work of breathing) to stave off my own heart attack.

Then, maybe science will catch up to what Snoredog was saying..

My most sincere condolences to the family of the great SnoreDog....He will be missed by myself and all who suffer from sleep apnea.

This hits a little to close to home - Snoredog is the same age as my husband. I am so sorry for your loss.

Cristen & Ali, you have my deepest condolences to you and the rest of John's family. May he rest in peace and no longer have to sleep with a cpap!!!!

This hits me very close to home also. I had a heart attack September 19. The only difference is I survived it. I figured I was so mean and ornery they were not through dishing out my punishment. John was a very fine person.

I am so shocked to just now learn of Snordog's passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family.
While I am new to this forum, Snordog was the first member here to give me advice which started me on the correct path to my therapy. I will miss his comments and suggestions.
In the next few days I will go to the Bamboo Temple overlooking Kunming China and leave a prayer flag for him. May he rest in peace and know he left us all better off because of his help and wisdom.
God Bless

Although I don't post frequently, I read this forum nightly. Your father will be missed by all in this online community.
It has become an extended family of caring people who share their experience and offer advice and support to anyone
who needs it. Snoredog was one of those who's posts I always looked forward to reading. My sincere condolences to his family.

I am deeply saddened by this news. i've discovered there are some here who know thier stuff and snoredog is one of them .to see his postings qualified a stop read and digest action. always sound advice usually backed up by proof. and when he was wrong (not usually) he was big enough to admit it. your loss is our loss though we wont hurt as you do. take comfort in the caring he gave us while here.

someday science will catch up with what he said

R.I.P. snoredog until we meet in a higher place

rick

p.s. am gunna miss those ending snips (lol)

Cristen and Ali,

My condolences to you on the passing of our favorite "Snoredog". Crusty at times, profane at times but an incredibly giving person - spending many hours helping so many of us with his fount of knowledge. He will be missed by many.

Mindy

Wow...I'm in shock!

While Snoredog and I never really saw eye to eye, he did provide invaluable information to this board. RIP and condolences to the family

This is shocking! That's why I haven't seen any Soredogs postings for a while.
I didn't get to know him, because I'm so new, but he sure impressed me with his
knowledge and his will to help everybody with problems.
He was one of the most respected members of this community, one of the
supporting pillars.
And if this is such a loss for us, how huge a loss it must be for you, his family!
I wish you strength, and send you my condolences.

I only got to know of him recently. I echo all who have made good words about him.

Sleep well friend, without the hoses, tubes, and plastic.

Godspeed and Goodnight
