John Hope was probably the number one influence I had getting involved with Tropical Weather, period. He was one to question the NHC from time to time, but always managed to do it in a respectful manner.

When talking about hurricanes, he is one you think of. Along with the likes of Neil Frank, Bob Sheets, Bill Gray, and Max Mayfield. They are synonymous with Tropical Weather.
You could tell John Hope really had a genuine interest and fascination with the weather, and it showed.

Thanks for the guidence along the way. God Bless you and rest in peace.
