I just received a PM from John's twin brother Jim, aka spotter here on the boards. He asked me to pass along this very, VERY sad news to all John's museum friends:
Needless to say, I'm stunned. I hate to be the bearer of such bad news, but John was one of the good ones, and I know he was well-loved here, and I thought everyone should know.

It is with great sadness that I said goodbye to John Saltzburg aka JDS1911
It has been a rough couple of months since John got sick in the first week of August - he did not know it then but he had a fully metastasized melanoma. The cancer took his ability to walk within a week of going into the hospital for what he thought was sciatica. The week before he died it moved into his brain and thats when I lost the last part of him. He passed in his sleep - We lost him on September 30th.
