Fair winds and following seas to him.He will be missed.
We were fortunate to have John visit us at BlueJacket last year. He was a great supporter of the industry and a great resource, particularly on Coast Guard issues.

Yes, it is a tragedy. Like so many great people who are wholeheartedly dedicated to their job... Retirement almost literally breaks their heart. I'm very sad, reading professor Tilley's posts was always a delight, I'm going to miss him very much.

such a tragic loss
His passing is going to be taken hard here. Never a day went by where I was able to get into a good, long discussion with the Professor over something nautical releated. I was afraid this was coming with his absences getting more and more frequent over the year.
Spotted Dog Prof. Tilley was the rare combination of vast knowledge, passion for his subject and always a gentlemen. A rare combination now days. He will be missed.

Couldn't have said it one word better. Never had the pleasure of actually meeting the gentleman, but his 'voice' was always welcome, well-informed, and touched with civilty and good humor. A great loss to all of us.
RIP Prof. Tilley.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
To John's family and friends, I am so very sorry for your loss. He will be truly missed by us all.
