John K. Wood has died in Brazil.  He had Hepititis C and his immune system was damaged enough so that pneumonia was able to end his life.  He died this afternoon, August 22, 2004.

They are having his wake tonight, August 23, and a funeral tomorrow.  His son Stan's email is sevanwood@hotmail.com.

(note by Charley O'Leary)
