I read his obituary and remember his posts. I never met him but the legacy he seems to have left behind tells the story. I lost my father a few years back and he was the same age so my heart goes out the family. There will be a void left behind from his absence. My dad and I restored our 67 mustang together so I hope his son can have and always keep that car as a memory and reminder of his father. RIP John and may your family be consoled and find the peace and answers they are looking for in this difficult time. This really is a one of a kind forum and family of Boss owners.

I didn't know John but just read his obituary. I myself was diagnosed with that cancer just last October but it was found in time (they say) and my kidney was removed. It's a disease that gives little warning and when it does its usually too late. Feel free to PM me with questions about it.

I wanted to pass along that I received a nice note from Kelly, John's wife, thanking BMO members for their support and friendship during his illness. She's having a tough time but moving forward. Andy tells me that she's keeping all three of their Mustangs for the time being so you might see her at a NorCal car show.

I like the idea. The way to implement this is to change his avatar to a flag at half mast. If someone wants to get me an image that looks good at 150x150 pixels go for it.

Check your mail, Rick.
