Sad News for the Pet Talk Community

[Karen]

It is with great sadness that I inform you of a death within the Pet Talk family. "Jonza," real name John Fowlie, beloved husband of "Randi" Hofman and beloved human of orange cat Fister, passed away Tuesday morning after a brief sudden illness. He was surrounded by family and loved ones. He was 65.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Randi and their families at this time.

[Edwina's Secretary]

We have lost a pillar.

and his life partner of over 25 years, Randi, along with Fister and Pjevs are left to carrying on without this wonderful, funny, kind, thoughtful, loving and intelligent man.

Godspeed John….rest in peace… Mini, Josephine, Batman and all the childhood cats named Tom have surely been to welcome you to the Rainbow Bridge by now.

I am at a loss for words.

Godspeed John. You will be missed.
This place will never be the same without John's wonderful stories.

Words fail me right now...I'm in complete shock. Jonza was a wonderful member of PT, and will be missed sorely. I'm finding it hard to believe he has left us, and through the tears in my eyes, Randi, I want you to know that we will all be here for you during this very painful and difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to you, Randi, to Fister, and to your entire family.

Too sad, too sad....

John was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor.
He was also the love of my friend Randi and that was enough for me.

Randi, you know you have a friend on me. I'm here for you for whatever or whenever you need me. My home is wide open to you.

Hugs my friend,I'm crying with you

Rest in peace John!

Oh, God. I am in total shock. Dearest Randi, my most solemn condolances on the loss of John. He was one of the neatest people I have had the pleasure to learn from. His posts, his wit, his Fisterisms. Words cannot express the sorrow I know you are experiencing. He treasured you, I know, as you did him. I can only keep you close in my heart.

Love,
Johanna
