Great memories with John and Andy Bolz that began many years ago at the Dutch Classic in teardown BARN. Hawk had set the record in the 72 Mustang and while tearing down I had an incident that John responded to and the fun began. Condolences and you will not be forgotten. Duane

I live right down the street from John and always loved to stop by after work and he would pleasantly greet me and tell me to grab a cold one. We would sit and talk about old racing stories and current ones. He always helped my father and I out with our cars, no matter what time or day it was. One of my favorite memories was when I told John I needed a new septic tank and he drove his backhoe to my house the next night. I barely knew him at the time but it didn't matter, he just wanted to help. He was a true racer, engine builder, and friend. He will be missed by all. Thanks for everything John and my condolences to your family.

- Clint and Gary Walters

John was as I call them "one of the originals" yes back in the 70's John was a weekly competitor in the stock/super stock weekly races at Lebanon Valley. It was a good time in all our lives and I know John enjoyed all of it. Sal's note certainly attests to John's roll in a bigger arena. All great memories. Thanks John for being a piece to the puzzle of life and this sport.

Dave
