Instrumental in the Southern California gasser and funny car movements. His cars were always the most beautiful and some of the fastest around. Condolences to John's friends and family. bp

I attended Big John's funeral and it was very moving. Lots of old friends there. Jr. Thompson & Ed Iskedarian gave nice speeches about him.

As I understand it, John was undergoing chemotherapy for his Leukemia. He had a cough but not a bad one. Being weak from the chemo it did turn to pneumonia though.

Wow. I grew up hearing this name on a regular basis in my household. My dad knew him. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to meet him!
