RIP, what an interesting life he had. I didn't know him very well, but it appears we had a brief conversation back in 2008. Graham87 07:08, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I only interacted with JGHowes once, but he was very helpful and very courteous in what could've turned into quite a difficult situation. My sincerest sympathies to his family and friends. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:31, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Such sad news. JGH's was a valued member of the WikiP community and will be greatly missed. My condolences to his friends and family. MarnetteD|Talk 16:08, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Another person I wish I had more time to just talk with. A courteous soul, a helpful disposition, all the wonderful contributions and masterfully written articles but nothing is so impactful as the kind words from one human to another. JGH embodied every ounce of that statement. There are so many ways he contributed to Wikipedia but it is his beautiful kindness and understanding that outshines all of it. You will be so missed here. --ARose Wolf 17:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
