Cannot say enough good things about John. He was a real gentlemen and a real friend. I can recall vividly when our cars were displayed together in the 1995 Chip's Choice at Carlisle. John car represented the 1970 model year, mine 1971, and Drew Papaun 1972. He was a low key even tempered person that I consider a privlidge to have known him.
