I know John spent a lot of time in the coffee House.  During the prehistoric days Of Beemaster.. I talked to his wife several times on Vantrillo.
Quote from John Clayton
Regrettably with a smashed heart. I need to share the passing of my wife Tracey. 1962 to 2024.  she was never one for having her photo taken, but I snuck a few over the years and I?ll post them shortly for everyone to share. God bless you all 

Sorry for your lost John..

I have never talked to Mr Clayton personally. I have much appreciation for his founding and development of Beemaster, along with the quality of the wise foundation he placed in it.
It's never easy losing a loved one, (and for Mr Clayton), I feel for him regarding 'his' loss of Mrs Clayton, his lifelong friend and companion, his mate. He and his family will be in my prayers as he faces this difficult experience during this sad time of his life.
If you read this, 'God Bless You' and 'your family' Mr Clayton.

Sincerely,

Phillip

Jim, thanks for posting this.   She had not been well for some time but that kind of loss never comes easy no matter what.  I am glad you were able to stay in touch with him because I often wondered how he was doing after he stopped his cooking videos.

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

How sad.  I didn't know Mr. Clayton either, but my condolences to him and his family.

Those who haven't met John have missed out on a great event. John, I feel for you, my friend.
