John Gunn RIP

First met John not long after he took over the old shop from Tony Chickory, looking to get a motor built. I can still see that old Storm Vulcan near his bench where he did valve jobs, and the hot tank that never seemed to shut off. His place was always busy. Spent many many hours at the old and new shop chewing the fat, having fun, hearing war stories, and learning as much as I could. After moving away from the area I would occasionally pop back in to say hello, and it was like I'd only been there yesterday, although years had passed.

Flipping thru the obits at the Journal web site, and reading his really hurt.

Rest easy pal; say hello to Jimmer...

Linda, Pop, Amanda, you are in everyone's thoughts...
