Our Friend, Jeb
It breaks my heart to have to announce that John "Jeb" Johnson passed away yesterday. I expect to have more information tomorrow. I know he had been living at a hospice facility for the last several days, so we can be certain that he was made as comfortable as possible. The initial information I have is that he was surrounded by a load of friends, which is no surprise to anyone who knew Jeb.
I'll post more as soon as I receive it. I'm particularly interested in how Dawn's doing.
Rest in peace, Jeb, with love from Sally and Sam

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
Sam and everyone else, including hopefully Dawn..
a few years ago i was at a funeral of an aquintence and the fellow who did her funeral service read from the bible book of Ecclesiates, the 7th chapter and verse 1 "A good name smells sweater than the finest ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of birth"
he explained that as odd as it sounds to claim the day of death was better than the day of birth, that it was true, then went on to associate both parts of the verse... when a person is born nothing is known about that individual- who they really are. at the time of their death they've created a name and a reputation, others have gotten to know then are devolope relationships with them.. they'd had the chance to create forthemselves a reputation with the Big Fella and others..
Jeb may be gone, but he sure as hell left this world with a good name and reputation- and tons of people who loved and cared about him, most of us on this board never got the chance to meet Jeb, however i dont think that even those of us who never met him personnaly can read this announcment and not give way to tears..
I wont be saying goodbye to Jeb, just gonna look forward to meeting up with him in the next life..

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
I wrote to Jeb a while ago telling him how much I enjoyed being his friend here on the board. I told him that when my husband's best friend died, I was asked to speak at his funeral. I told Jeb that I had done that and at the end, I read a
poem called "Who Would Walk a Mile With Me" by Henry Van Dyke. Reading those words now makes me thankful that all of you had been such great friends to Jeb in these last few months. The words to this poem seem so true to what had gone on here, I hope all of you find it and read it. It is a true testament to the way all of us felt about Jeb always. No one could make us
laugh more than him. Game time just won't be the same without him.
God Bless all of you

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
Rosalie,
here it is,
A Mile With Me
O who will walk a mile with me
Along life's merry way?
A comrade blithe and full of glee,
Who dares to laugh out loud and free,
And let his frolic fancy play,
Like a happy child, through the flowers gay
That fill the field and fringe the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me
Along life's weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out o'er the darkening lea,
And the quiet rest at the end o' the day,--
A friend who knows, and dares to say,
The brave, sweet words that cheer the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend,
I fain would walk till journeys end,
Through summer sunshine, winter rain,
And then?--Farewell, we shall meet again!

How sad that he has gone so soon.
How wonderful that he shared his time with us.
I will not forget him and I know together we shall be among those who carry his memory forward.
May God Bless you John. May you rest in peace.

Rest in peace Jeb.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Jeb in person, only knowing him here online. Though from only these interactions, I'll bet there are lots of people who feel about Jeb how Jimmy Stewart felt about Beau.

Sad sad news. Jeb will be missed big-time here by all who've had the pleasure of reading his fun and witty comments. His indominatable spirit glowed in everything he wrote.
By the way, it's more than appropriate that STILL, to this day, the last comment posted (on May 11th) on the Game On threads is by Jeb.

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
To All,
Yesterday I re-read the last game on thread which Steve mentioned. I found one of the last posts Jeb wrote that really hit home for me. When I read it, it was almost like he knew what was around the corner, summing up the year and his stay here. It is fitting that his name will stay as the last Game On thread until the lockout is over, and every time I log in, I will see his name there.
It breaks my heart to say goodbye to someone that meant so much to all of us, I hope know one objects to me pasting it below.
Thanks Jeb, I'll never forget you and what you gave to all of us, peace my friend.

Wow. Ugly finish to an unlucky year. Youth is served I guess. James seized the moment and the Celtics shrunk from it. Hard to watch. I wont congratulate the Heat. To hell with them. BUt I do want to thank all the mods who made this place possible. Sam's is a great place for Celtic fans and its been truly great to get to talk hoop/ life with yall. It seems to me that this version of the Celts are done. Doc will prolly leave and everyone is just too old. With a few tweaks we can still compete but the days of us being legitimate contenders for the title just sadly ticked away. This team with kg ray and paul just didnt have any damn luck at all with their health. Thats what sucks. But we did get to enjoy a sweet ass victory over Kobe and Phil. A title. Those are hard to come by and truly hard for the Celtics in the last 20 something years. That title was worth a ton and the team conducted themselves like Celtics. Cheers to you all. It was a sweet ride. With one or two breaks it would have been sweeter but the gamble with older players was just that a gamble.

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
A few of us had the good fortune to meet Jeb at last year's board party in his beloved San Francisco. And meeting him didn't change my impression of him one iota. What you read was what you got when you encountered Jeb. The curious blend of laid back, folksy humor and no-nonsense passion. The feeling that you had just scratched the surface of a very deep, multi-faceted individual. But most of all, the feeling of genuine affection coming in your direction.
During the dinner depicted in the avatar at the right, Jeb and my wife happened to strike up a conversation about music. It turned out that they were both musical aficionados to the point of being veritable zealots, and they talked the evening away. I recall Bob Heckler and I finally looking at one another and wondering whether we were going to have to get those two a conference room for the night. That's the kind of riveting impact Jeb could have, even on a previously unknown stranger.
One of Jeb's good Chattanooga friends has acquainted me with the fact that Jeb, who evidentally developed a huge interest in punk rock and music in general during the 1980s, has been a virtual legend in Tennessee for his musical knowledge. Unfortunately that's not a side of Jeb we got to see, although my wife certainly has more than an inkling.
Another element of Jeb's life that we never got to experience was the love of his life, Dawn. Throughout his ordeal of the past year, Dawn was the constant focus of his thoughts. They were married for five years and had planned to have children. She's obviously a very special person, and Jeb's friend has told me how she displayed magnificent courage during the recent difficult months. I know Jeb would want all of us to keep Dawn uppermost in our prayers.
Then there was the bicycle. During the time of our party, Jeb insisted on riding everywhere on his bike, pumping furiously away at San Francisco terrain not known for its level thoroughfares. It turned out that his SFO bike riding was an apt metaphor for the way he lived his life—grateful for any downhill relief but never afraid to tackle the uphill challenges with dignity and grace. His life was far from an easy one, and I like to think all of us represented a reasonably dependable source of stability for Jeb.
Some of you know that I believe no one truly dies until everyone on whom s/he has had an impact is also gone. After all, we are products of our surroundings...especially the people who touch us. If there is even a shred of truth in that belief, then Jeb will always be very much with us and part of us. I take some comfort in that, and I hope you will too.
God bless you, Jeb. God bless you with an abundance of strength, Dawn.
Love,
Sam and Sally

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
I really enjoyed reading Jeb's postings but when I met him in San Francisco for the party, it went to a whole new level. We really clicked. Over the next year, when he wasn't able to be in front of a TV or computer, he'd text me and ask me for scores and how I thought the game was going. He texted the same way he posted.
I didn't post any travelogues during my recent trip to Europe, because I felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate my good fortune when a dear friend was suffering so much, but I have to tell you all this story, now.
After driving through Burgundy and Alsace-Lorraine for a week, I flew from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to Schipol Airport in Amsterdam on 6/18. The plan was to meet up with an old friend of mine for the weekend and then go back to France for a week with him and have some fun before continuing on to Italy while he returned home to Boston. I arrived a day early, we had a room booked for 6/19, but on 6/18 I was vagabonding it. When I arrived at Schipol, I found out they lost my luggage. I now had nothing except my daypack, which only held books and maps and such, and the courtesy package airlines give you when they lose your luggage. It contains a toothbrush, a days worth of toothpaste and a brush. I took the train from Schipol to Amsterdam. It was raining and I didn't have my plastic windbreaker/raincoat with me (it was in my luggage). I went to every hotel near the train station and they were all booked up. Finally, I booked myself into a hostel. I was assigned to a three story walkup to a room with 3 bunkbeds. I had an upper bunk and shared the room with 4 men and a woman, all young enough to be my children. Needless to say, things were not going according to plan. I decided to go out to an internet cafe and check my email and visit this board to see the results of Jeb's surgery on 6/16. Obviously, the news was not good. I hit every bar and coffeehouse on that street that night and still couldn't numb myself out and I didn't care about the hostel or the rain or the luggage anymore.
I woke up the next day with the resolve that I wasn't going to have another bad day until Jeb's last day. For me to feel anything less than blessed seemed small and selfish. Despite various other events since then (they found my luggage and then lost it again on the flight back to Paris, it took them 6 days for them to locate it and return it to me, I slept in the streets of Paris 1 night and on the floors of airports 2 nights as well as issues unrelated to the trip) I have been successful in not feeling like I have had a bad day since 6/18. I have been resolute in only focusing on the wondrous life I live.
Today is a very, very bad day.
I will see you again, brother.

My condolances to Jeb's wife Dawn and the rest of his friends and family. He will be missed. He gave us much to look forward to in his posts and his refreshing viewpoint on life. I trust he is with The Saviour now and his suffering is at an end. I am thankful for the enrichment he brought to me personally and I trust to all posters on this board and probably everyone with whom he came into contact. Eternity in Heaven is yours Jeb, rest easy and suffer no more.

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
After reading about Jebs passing, I first had to grab some tissue so this emotional wreck (me) could wipe a few tears aside. I then started to write when I lost my internet service. I obviously now have my service back now.
What does someone say in times like these? I have already read the posts from everyone else. I just want to echo those sentiments and add my own. I always feel that I will stumble over my words, and therefore, usually never say anything. However, here it goes, for Jeb, my board buddy, my friend.
I will never forget what Jeb has meant to me. As most already know, I was one of the few that had the privlege to meet Jeb in San Francisco last year. I remember thinking what a wild and crazy guy he was. Not like straight jacket crazy. Just crazy for life, crazy for his Celtics. As Sam already mentioned, I also watched him ride into the night on his bicycle up the crowded San Francisco streets. I had told him to be careful. I was a little afraid for him having to deal with the busy San Francisco traffic at night. Boy he sure had passion for the Celtics. If I had ever doubted it in his writings here (I didn’t), I was convinced while talking/listening to him in person that he was a Celtics fan through and through.
It always amazed me how Jeb could be ranting and raving about the Lakers, and yet turn to me as a Lakers fan and say “Hey MG, how ya doin’? Where you been? Good to have you back on the board.” Or, “tell Donald hello from me.” …..and “hope Donald is still wearing his Celtics Jersey. Does he still pull for the Celtics?” I will really miss that. I will really miss reading Jeb’s posts and just simply put, having a good friend that accepted me as one of you, even though I represented another team. That meant volumes to me.
Hearing the news about Jebs illness, and now his passing, has really effected me in allot of ways. Because of this, I have revisited the feelings I have for my own immediate family that has sustained us through almost 25 years of marriage. It is amazing how you sometimes take those closest to you for granted. I try not to anymore.
I can’t imagine what Dawn must be going through. I just want to wish her the best and to give her a huge cyber hub.
Jeb, rest in peace my friend,
MG

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
Even though we knew this was coming, reading Sam's post about Jeb's death was very sad.
I also never met Jeb and had an up and down relationship with him only because of the teams we root for, not because of the people we are. I am happy that Jeb and I reconciled our differences and I could tell him how he was a big part of why I kept coming back to this forum and what I thought of him as a person.
I am saddened that Jeb's life was cut short and so was his marriage to Dawn. I wish the best for Dawn and hope she can have peace in the upcoming weeks and months.
Worcester, you went out of your way to help Jeb. Your compassion, advice and ideas for Jeb showed that you are a very giving and caring person.
I wish the best to everyone here.

Re: Our Friend, Jeb
My thoughts are of course with Dawn and Jeb's family. I hope they bring some comfort.
While I didn't get to meet him in person or know him as well as some of you, I am so grateful to have known him through this community. He was such a distinct, irrepressible voice, filled with joy and fire, yet tempered with compassion and respect for those willing to share it in turn.
People are wired differently. Some people exist, barely noticeable to most people who pass through their lives, while others shine so bright that you can't help but notice how they make the day brighter for everyone around them. Jeb was a person I couldn't help but notice and usually put a little extra spring in my step just by being the person he was. He was a gift to the rest of us.
Thank you, Jeb.
Travel well.
