Fr. John revealed

Many here on the forum wonder what Fr. John looks like. As his portrait photographer, I thought it was time to reveal him.

Fr. John.... a Man of God, an Omega guru and a wonderful guy! Cheers, Bill P.

btw, under his cuff there is an Omega

Very nice to see Fr. John. I would love to meet in person someday. Fr. John was a big help when I was deciding on a Speedy Pro. Such an asset to have him on this forum.

Fr. John was very gracious and helpful to me when I had questions about my Speedy. A truly remarkable and wonderful man. He is a great asset to this wonderful community we have here and a true Omega fanatic!

God bless you and Father John.

Hey Bill,

Great shots of man who I haven't met but consider a friend and a SME (Subject Matter Expert).

Fr John is a perfect gentleman, he has been very helpful to me and many others here and is a bright spot on this and several other forums.

I must say though, those collars look uncomfortable, even more so than a tie. Having never worn one I just don't know but they seem like they stick up really high and they look stiff. Hopefully it is more comfortable than it looks!
