It is with an extremely heavy heart that I have to report that our beloved John DeGregory passed away this evening. John had been in the hospital after recently falling at his home. John was comfortable and passed away with family by his side. Please let's all keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers. His family has indicated that his funeral will be private, but a memorial will be planned for the future.
John was a Charter member of our Pittsburgh Tri State Chapter and a 5-time past Chairman, as well as a Vice Chairman and Events Chairperson. He is considered an institution not only in our chapter but for the NCRS as a whole. John was known for his passion for Corvettes and was "THE" authority within the NCRS community for Rochester Fuel Injections. He was also a great, kind and caring person. Many of you have certainly known John much longer than I have so I'm sure you have many great stories and fond memories.
We in the PTSC have certainly been privileged to have had him as our own all this time. He will certainly be missed.
I have attached a photo of John I took a couple years ago at Corvettes at Carlisle in his trailer. A familiar site to many of you I'm sure.too
*Please note that since this original posting John’s family has now decided to have a service to celebrate his life. See the announcement in Vinnie’s post #50 in this thread!
