Hello, this is Anne, John's daughter. Thank you so much for all your kind messages and sharing of memories. Here is the obituary to be run tomorrow:



Penfield, NY: August 17, 2007 at age 59 after a courageous battle with cancer. Loved dearly and survived by his wife, Elizabeth, of 34 years ...

I am still "hanging in there". The main issue is now getting enough protein and calories into my system to sustain itself. For now, the cancer center does NOT want to use direct protein infusion into an IV "PIC Line" which has a very high risk of infection that could kill me. They prefer trying to ...

I'm still hanging in there!

Recovered well from the fall. Have a hospital bed and very comfortable recliner set up in our family room. Able to use a walker to get around the house, and to twice-weekly IV hydration at the cancer clinic. Unfortunately, not able to get many calories or much protein ...

Hello to all my friends here on Filmshooting.com! I've just had a "near death experience":

I just spent two days in the hospital (Thursday and Friday, July 26-27) after a very scary event on Wednesday evening.

Our older daughter Katie had been spending the week in Rochester from Boston with us to ...

Hi, John. I was reading the article about you and had to chuckle when I read about your AM radio transmitter. Back in the early 70's I and my electronic gearhead friends acquired a surplus WW2 Navy AM wideband transmitter, and got the idea we'd run a pirate radio station from the friend's bedroom ...

My hometown newspaper published an article about my long career in motion pictures:

Unfortunately, my health continues to deteriorate, as I cannot get enough fluid through my blocked small intestine to stay hydrated. I am down to only 119 pounds ...

Competition had nothing to do with KODACHROME Super-8 film being discontinued by Kodak. Kodak still has five different Super-8 films available:

Perchloroethylene is also known as "Tetrachloroethylene". It is most widely used by the clothing dry-cleaning industry. Labs that use it are very efficient in recycling it and not letting it cause contamination or health issues by using proper safety, health and environmental procedures:

For removing loose particulate dirt, Kodak PTR film cleaning rollers are quite effective, and eliminate the need for using hazardous solvents:

Kodak consumer and professional films almost always have differences in the formulation, even for films that are identical in speed and color balance. And yes, different "keeping factors" are used to optimize the film characteristics under the likely conditions (time, temperature) that the film will ...

My May 16 CAT scan showed at least three areas of blockage, caused by the tumors growing along my small intestine. I am barely able to get enough water into my system to stay hydrated. IV hydration is a short term option, but hospice is being strongly suggested.

We gave it our best shot with Chemo ...

I've just survived another two-week round of chemotherapy to slow the tumor growth along my small intestine that are sometimes causing blockage. Chemo is definitely not fun, with extreme fatigue and nausea. But as they say, "no pain, no gain". Should have at least a two week break before the next ...

Certainly the bearings in old analog meters can seize due to corrosion over the years, especially if they are not jeweled. Silicon or selenium cells should maintain their output, but if batteries are used, there may be corrosion of the contacts.

"Middlemen" can take quite a "markup" on price. Shop around.
