There was a sign posted in Vegas by the AZB room on Saturday when we stopped by. I just couldn't believe it. It makes one of his last posts even more poignant:
Farewell everyone.

I just struck out but I went down swinging. To all the players trying to improve your game, good luck. Ask questions, take the advice from those that are qualified to give it and practice, practice, practice.
To the players in the I.P.T., good luck. I'll see some of you out there at a tournament some day.
Peace to everyone, John Morton.
I loved his humor, his candor and his love for the game. He will be missed so much. It was way too early for him to check out. My hearfelt condolences go out to his family. Keep swinging, John.
Here is a T-shirt pic I sent to John a while back, knowing he would love it.
