Turbine,

Can you make sure that no one can ever use California Cajun and Gator Grunt ever again? Both of these guys deserve to be honored here on RP. Thanks

Yes! A Ragin Pagin Honor Roll!!

John died unexpectedly. There were no known health problems prior to his death.

He was 62 years old.

This one hits hard. I remember him writing me a long letter years ago describing how he became a Cajun fan. Maybe he has a new position of influence and will be able to insure we are able to bring in the right person for a certain job opening right now. Nothing would please him more. I am happy he was able to see progress on the name change as that was one of his passions in life.

RIP Cali.
My condolences to his family.

I do remember California Cajun from the Old Delhi board, and yes if there Could be a RaginPagin Hall Of Fame he would certainly be inducted! Condolences and prayers to his family. Am I correct in saying that California’s name was waht it was in honor of one of his friends that passed earlier in his life?

John always made it a point to be a peacemaker between UL fans and ULM and McNeese fans. Use to p*ss me off!! LOL! He was a mild mannered, dude. Never had a cross word for anyone. RIP my friend!!

Only the good die young. I'll probably live to be 105.

Cajuns Internet message board pioneer and dedicated Cajuns fan John Ayers (California Cajun) passed away on December 9. John was CDeb's successor as moderator of the old Delphi board, and was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the success of both Ragin Pagin and the Cajun Red Zone on Scout.

He was a member of the now infamous Eauque Tree tailgating group, a huge fan of the Anaheim Angel's and the Cajuns, and a good, decent and honorable man.

There will be a memorial service at a date and place yet to be determined.

May our friend rest in peace.

Geaux Cajuns and Go Angel's.
