Just came across this. Perhaps those with Facebook will have more details.  

Sure wish I would have found out sooner and gave them a call.

Looks like that sale was last weekend, currently appears to be by appointment only. I wonder if hey would ship .... I doubt it.

Tough time for his family, and to have to take care of business too ...

Anyway,   http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/for/4978204453.html   this is the most recent ad for the sale.

If anyone in the area is planning to go, I would like to get in touch if you'd be willing to grab something for me and ship it.

Hey Guys, went to the shop last week, Johns brother Tom is selling whats left, and theres still   alot of quality lams and riser material to be had at good prices,but you have to be thier to look it all over.I live 45 mins away and been visiting and dealing with John about the last 4 years,his knowledge and expertise was as good as it gets. I will miss going to the shop and talking with him on a variety of things especially the art and science of creating the bow, he was a great guy. May god bless his family and friends

I wonder if the green glass Jim is offering is something John had or something he will be selling on a regular basis?
