We are so sorry to hear about John's passing. We knew John from the car shows. We were in the same class at all the shows. We use to joke about who was going to beat who. He was a great guy. I just saw him about 3 weeks ago at the Tinley Park cruise nights on Oak Park avenue and told him how great he looked. I had not seen him since last summer. John was a very nice person and he will be missed.
