I just recieved word from Jim Bryan that John passed away. I have no other information other than to say it is quite a shock. I have spoke to John many times
on the phone over the years and have bought many of his quality products and books. He will be missed. Rest in Peace John! Here is what Jim wrote: My friend
John Szimanski passed away recently. I have known John for 11 years. In that time I have used many of his products and always felt he produced first rate
training equipment. The service was always prompt and professional. He and I also went in together in the HITS Specialist course and it turned out to be an
International project. John researched everything to the core and had facts to back up his opinions. In this he turned out to be one of the foremost experts on
Arthur Jones. Arthur's Wife Inga trusted John to save as much of Arthur's work as possible and because of that we have an "Arthur Jones
Collection." He had little patience for foolishness. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his Wife Brenda and his Family. Jim Bryan

Wow-this is a shock. I too have purchased his products and had several phone conversations with him. Seemed like a good guy, sorry for the loss to those who knew him well. May he rest in peace, and God's grace to his family. Dave |

Thank you Bob.
Yesterday my attention was called to another Board and the actions of a few there. They like to call themselves "Scientists" but act like little boys. This is one of two boards that I visit, because of the maturity and level of interesting information. Training..............real training is the subject here. Moderators do a good job and there is no doubt that contributors here actually work out. |

Hi Jim and thank YOU. I know what you mean about a lot of the boards out there. I have not been on one for YEARS but went looking for some info about what
happened with John etc. I'll tell you what...never have I seen so much crap and pure garbage. Most of these boards are nothing but gossip and B.S. and have
NO quality control at all. I'd rather have few posts but keep it QUALITY than more posts if it looks like the pure crap I saw on most of the boards I went
to.

I heard about this as well and my sincerest condolences go out to his family. I didn't know the man, but anytime someone unexpectedly passes away, it is
sad.
I know what everyone means with regards to other boards. When this news was released I noticed some of the messages posted in relation to it. Disgusting. I don't care what qualms you've had with someone in the past, to publicy defile someone who has tragically lost their life is inhuman and childish. Just think what his family must be going through. For the most part my schedule overwhelms me and prevents me from visiting internet discussion boards. With the exception of this one, that is probably a good thing. Most o fthe information out there only distracts someone from sticking to the basics and milking what they are doing for everything it's worth. Al |
