Sad to hear this info....
John was always a Happy Fellow and Great to talk with!
He always would shout "Hi Neighbor" as we lived close to each other in Ohio.
He will be missed, RIP John!

Re: John Foxbower passes.
 

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,

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?

Re: John Foxbower passes.
 

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 ❤️
