It is with a heavy heart to have and try and explain what John met to me and my brother Tim .The never ending nights working in his shop or in ours,the arguing,the laughing,and just fun.A bright man,kind heart,loving father and husband.Rest in peace and as he ended all conversation Say Goodnight Dick.

Linda and Amanda,
Our deepest sympathies go out to your family. It's at this point I regret putting off stopping by till next week. Gunn will be missed by many. He will live forever in the racing community through the stories he's told and lives he's touched. If there is anything you need don't hesitate to ask.
