I'm really shook up. I can't even think straight right now.  John was a fun person to know...we had some good chats in the chatroom. I do so much remember him talking of his fellow comrades who lost their lives in the Charleston fire...this was a tragic time for John for he worked side by side with all 9 firemen. John had a vast knowledge of relics and was quick to answer many of "What is it?" questions. He will will be missed by all who knew him at T-Net. My heart goes to John's family. So long, Capt'n.

Death is part of life...but that doesn;t make it seem any fairer or lessen the heartbreak when someone special leaves us. Some say the true sign of a special person is the emptiness felt by those they leave behind....Capt was very special and will be missed immensely!!! My condolences to his family, he touched all of us here in a positve way and hopefully part of him will stay alive in all of us and his family and friends. A sad day indeed....

I don't even know what to say.... Thank all of you so much for all of your condolences. Metal detecting was Dad's favorite hobby(along with model trains). He found some amazing things over the years, my job usually consisted of watching, but sometimes he'd let me have a go. I never had the luck he had, I usually came back with rusted scrap or pennies, but it didn't matter, I just enjoyed spending the time with Dad. My only regret is being such a pain in the ass, but I suppose all kids are. The last time I spoke with Dad before he went to the hospital, he told me he didn't want me mourning over him(though I can't seen to help it) He said that he had a great life, and got to do many things that most people don't(this is true) I don't know if any of y'all knew him personally, but he was extremely hardworking, and self-sufficent. When he got sick, that changed. It is so hard to watch the strongest person you have ever known waste away. He was very ready to go. It just happened so fast....Dad always taught me that the impermanence of life is what makes it so beautiful, he also always said " --deleted-- happens!" He always found humor in everything, so I suppose we could try as well. Again, thank y'all so much, and have a blessed day~Namaste~

I remember showing off some POS CW stuff I dug, not much of anything really, and having him tell me how nice it was, and to keep digging.......what a great guy he was, obviously.
I'm not a fireman, and wouldn't be.....run INTO burning buildings??? That's CRAZY. But he did it. What a man.
To all of your family, my deepest sympathies.
How terribly he'll be missed by all.
Rest in Peace. We're a better place for you having been here.

Another TNET member has logged off. I have read a lot of his post. Didn’t really know him personally but some people you can tell what they are like by what they write. Defiantly a HERO member in more way than one. He will be missed. Please add him to the TNET past members’ memorial area. Ok so there isn’t one. Maybe it could happen.

just Received.
Hello Jeff, Been a long time since I have bee on the treasurenet. I have some news that truly breaks my heart. My detecting buddy and best friend has passed away. John McGinnigle AKA Trk5capt. Liver complications and cancer as a result. He retired from one of the Charleston Fire Departments not to long ago. I started a detecting club in Goose Creek, SC last March and John was all about educating detectorists about Civil war Battle's and his knowledge of Civil war was relics was impressive. His health was starting to deteriorate and still wanted me to go through with the club. Through the months, John had exceptionally good days along with tiring days from the Kemo treatment. About the beginning of November I had scheduled our first club Hunt at the Isle of Palms Beach in SC and told John that I would pick him up and take him out there. He was excited about this but was still not feeling to well. He was supposed to be accepted as a transplant candidate in North Carolina, but he was refused. His wife had taken him to the ER Sunday evening 11-04 with complications and passed 11-06. We had our hunt the following Saturday in honor of him. . Jeff, John was the first person that I contacted through Treasurenet and became real close. I still have the original message that I sent John. There are several people on treasurenet that knew we hunted together and I have not been able to contact anyone. I know it has been hard on John's family and I am not coping with this to well myself. If there is any way to let treasurenet members know about John, I would greatly appreciate it. Please Inform PBK first, as I know the he had the opportunity to meet John. I think it was last June, if I recall. It is hard to try and write another letter like this to PBK. John and I had some grate times detecting together and I truly miss him. Thanks for any support, Art...

Although i did not personally know trk5capt, i feel the compassion and friendship you guys shared with him. It makes me glad to know that this hobby can give life to so many friendships. I like to believe that we all die for a reason. I do not know what John's reason was, but i'm sure it was a good one. May you rest in peace John. With the risk of sounding a tad cliche, i'll say that he is in a better place. I'll see you in another life John.

This has shocked me.... I just happened to be looking through the menu page and came across this part of the forum...... And there is John.
To his family, all I can say is I am very sorry for such a loss, but knowing the man that he was, he is busy somewhere up in the sky with another big red fire engine...... My prayers are with you all.
God bless Peter

Rest in Peace trk5capt,
Although we have never met, I have always enjoyed your posts and the fact that you would always share your knowledge with anyone who asked. You will not be forgotten.

I am just learning of John's passing and needless to say, I am very sad. John was a great friend to so many and just a wonderful human being! I had the chance once to get to meet him and the hunt was cancelled. I so looked forward to meeting him. After he retired, he was so excited to have alot more time to hunt. I just seems so damn unfair, but we all have our time.
My deepest sympathies to his loving family and to all that knew him personally. God speed trk5capt! I will miss you dearly!

Spent the last week reading all the posts on the old board. This guy amazed me with his CW knowledge and he was local to me! I decided I wanted to meet this fellow and perhaps learn a bit from him. Then I found the new board and this post. Rest In Peace Captain. I will think of you whenever I find a whatizit.

He was a great guy. Here is the original post in case you haven't read it yet. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,118858.0.html
