My career path sort of paralleled John's, except on a 10 year delay (and with the truck group), so I felt a kindred spirit there. K

John wrote a lot, including a book about his time at Chevrolet and GM that CRG is pleased to publish.
http://www.camaros.org/library.shtml#report lists all his Camaro content (and also has Chevy service documentation). The Automobile Business - from the Bottom Up is a direct link to his book. It's a fun read.

Thanks Kurt, just read the whole story and WOW, what a life he had with GM. By the time he went to Chrysler, I was happy to read he had 16 years of satisfying and rewarding employment with them.

John was impressive. Between his memory and his notes, he remembered lot of cool details. I can barely remember working on some of my projects, no less details.

----A while after that day at John's shop. I called him to ask if I could take some detail pics of his Z. He was so gracious and the pics were very important. He is missed!....Bill S

John was an amazing person and his contribution to our hobby is immense. He dispelled many misconceptions and myths. He is sorely missed!
