Just received the sad news of the passing of Stanley Jon Odlum. He had been ailing with cancer for several years now but that never daunted his indomitable spirit. He was the "salt of the earth." His life, to me, was a lesson of love, humility and conviviality.
I bet that many more Forumites are more qualified to write about the man.
We have lost a good man. RIP Jono.

More sad news. We last met each other at the Iyanola Marathoners ceremony in SLU last year where were honored Mocking, Titus Mason, Ignatius Cadet and Rick Wayne. He did look a shell of his former self physically. However, he never lost his sense of humor. A notable scene at that ceremony was when Jono and Chaddee arrived. Chaddee is partly blind and Jono was walking slowly with the aid of a cane. They both slowly climbed the steps together with Chaddee walking behind Jono while holding his shoulder. It was funny, although a little sad as these were two giants during their day. Irrespective, we all found it funny including Jono and Chaddee especially when Jono told Chaddee, "bon ou sav ou nee pour payay mwen.." Goodbye Jono ! Rest in peace ! You were a real friend.
