Title: Originalgoth
Post by: BlackCountryMaggiD on January 24, 2016, 06:07:54 PM

A few of you will remember Originalgoth as a prolific contributor to this forum a few years back.
I'm sorry to have to tell you that John Wrenn died peacefully on January 21.

RIP

What? It is very sad to hear that.

I still have one of his posts from 2010 saved in my inbox. May he rest in peace.

does anyone know if he used to be a member of the myheartland forum using that name? if so then he  was a bloody nice bloke who i met a couple of times before he moved to america. if you could let me know so i can tell people on heartland i would appreciate it.
condolences to friends and family regardless.

EDIT: ive just checked and sadly it does look as if he was the same bloke. very sad. RIP John. :(

I felt him like a gentle and wise old chap among us with a nice taste of humour too. If you don't mind I'll paste here a clip of his text I chatted with him 6 years ago:

The Smoke & Flour talk as you know is a joke between Stoney & me & maybe a few others on here with me being a goth. It's all taken in the joking spirit is said in.

I love this forum because it is so full of friendly great people & I hope it stays that way.

Sad news, I can't say that I remember communication with him but our paths may have crossed, either at a gig or via keyboards...

Very sad.
I have met him many times through NMA, The Nephs , The Mish and The Sisters.

Rock on John.

Yep, remember your contributions to the board John, also remember you were a whiz-kid with IT and sorted out a "collaborative gig" spread sheet that soon got filled!

RIP

Oh, can remember the collaborative gig spread sheet very well. It was a "sticky thread" like the ones that reside above nowadays. But I always thought it was devised by Welsh_beard not OG? But I think you're right. It was WB who just often post to it. :)
