You will definitely be missed Johnny boy. I've known John for years, going back & forth between Bruce Parson's shop & mine (my dad's old fab shop), modifying everything in his path...He was always good to talk to...& not afraid to tell you like it is!

Over at Bruce's, it was always fun on dyno days, watching the 2 of them wrench & argue about the results of the last motor pull!

The last few years were rough on John, losing his wife & then battling the cancer. I missed him being at the track but would text with him in hopes to get him back to the strip one day in the future. He was getting better & stronger & closer to getting the motor back in that cool old Ford until he went backwards the second half of this year.

Truly a shame that he didn't get a few last passes in that Stang like he wanted to. Guess that's up to his boy Andy now to carry the torch.

Rest in Peace John,

Rob Holmes

Sad to hear this. I called and talked to John a few months back and hope to see him at the track this year. He was definitely one of the good guys.
Does anyone know when the arrangements are?

This is his son Andy. Thank you all for the kind words. Dad loved racing more than anything !! I’ll post the arraignments when they’re finalized ❤️
