I thought it was a yellow Mustang?
He traded it this year for a blue one.

Nice. Well, his Mustang in Heaven won’t ever see snow.

For the new guys who didn’t know John he was always willing to share any knowledge he had. He always seemed to be a good dude and it would have been a pleasure to meet him. Maybe one day I will!

Rest in peace brother!
Thanks for this. A good example to follow!
RIP man.

I'll always remember his cool late night bus pics. He commanded those buses like a boss and was an OG. He will be remembered.

I forgot he used to be a smoker. He quit 13 years ago. I'm so glad to have stopped in my late 20s, and other than a cigar from time to time I'm nicotine free for a few years now. I'm assuming it caught up to him. I really will miss him, such a great guy.

Oh no, I had no idea about what was going on with him. Or what he
had been going through. Yes, my prayers along with condolences go
out to all of his family as well as friends. Which includes all of the
many many friends which are like family at DWC and other forums
out there. He will most certainly be missed, but will always be with
us I believe. RIP sir.

Genuinely stunned. John has been a staple around here and a fellow midwesterner.
