Default RIP Not A TA

Read it on another site that John passed away a while back. He will be missed here. Although I did not know him personally, he has been helpful to me in the past.

Sad to hear John passing. I always found him to intelligent, thoughtful and well spoken. He was present on virtually every forum I've visited over the years. Our world is lesser without him in it.
Our phone calls would always go on long past whatever idea prompted the call.
Rest easy John.

Damn... sorry to hear this.
It’s always I’ll call him next week for the past year... bad on my part I got my 71 done finally & needed to show him. Needed to carve out some time though bc he was a talker LoL He always told me he was on borrowed time though.
Anyone know what happened to his red car? Last time I was at his house it was “close” but always something else in the way. I think he had a 67 fbody convertible he was working on too.

Wow it’s sad sometimes Pontiac guys are close by and you don’t even know them. I also raced BMX and Pontiacs yet even though I lived in a relatively small state w him I didn’t know him

May he RIP. Sorry to see a fellow CT/FL Pontiac guy pass.
