I've not been on the CPAP forum for a few weeks, and only just learnt of Snoredog's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences - he was a treasure, and provided much needed wisdom and advice as well as humour. He will be missed.

John "Snoredog" Dismuke, I barely knew you from the sleep apnea forum, which makes it that much more meaningful to me that that you reached out and helped me battle sleep apnea.

Thanks Snoredog, there hasn't been a day since I learned of your passing that I haven't thought of you and been saddened. You are truly missed.

My heart goes out to Snoredog's family and friends. His input will be greatly missed on cpaptalk.com. He was a times witty, at times sarcastic, but always knowledgeable and informative.

Sleep well without your hose, John.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family.

" Snoredog" was a witty, genuine, extremely helpful, wise man I got to know though cpaptalk.com. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I am another cpaptalk.com member who enjoyed and admired Snoredog aka John. It is very obvious that he was very intelligent and he liked to help people with treatment. I am still in shock over this. God Bless John and his Family and his buddy Gizmo.

Margaret, Cristen, Ali & Gizmo,

I also am a cpaptalk.com forum member, Snoredog/John helped me and others through our most challenging times as newbies when first starting treatment.
If it wasn't for him helping me along the way, I would have quit, he was a totally awsome and brilliant man, fun to I might add.
He will be missed by all of us at our forum, not just as a helper but as our friend, he was a "True Legand in his own time" for all of his knowledge and will remain that way forever.
He joined the forum March 19, 2006 and had 6,415 posts, the last being December 3, 2008. His logo on the forum was "Someday Science will catch up to what i'm saying" , yes, he was a brilliant man, he studied alot to help himself and us...
May "GOD" Bless you your family members & friends during this difficult and sad time.
Snoredog/John, Rest In Peace, we already miss you and we love you.. :(
Lots of Hugs and my sincere deepest sympothy,
SleepyNoMore/Shirley cpaptalk.com forum member

I knew John as Snoredog through cpaptalk.com, and for too short of a time. A man of brilliance, humor, great heart and singular personality, he helped many people as they dealt with sleep apnea, including me. John will be terribly missed.

I only knew John (Snoredog of CPAPTalk.com) for a very short time, but I learned a great deal from him by reading his previous posts. He was a very knowledgeable man, and and his "tell it like it is" manner will be sincerely missed.

This has been a shock to my system. Dizzy and I go way back in woodworking and have known each other many many years. I will miss him greatly for his experience, wit, and candor but mostly just because...

Dear Lord, please don't be tough on this guy, but grant him a special place beside you for all the good work and help he gave to everyone who asked.
