Re: Johnpro News - Please read
The pics make it all so real, the Norcal Mustang Gang and StangFix will never be the same again! I remember so many of these moments just sitting there and shooting the shit! I will admit I gladly laughed and smiled even the fourth time I heard about the wheel falling of the 66 but you know I loved hearing that story every single time!!!
I have some great pics that I will have to find and post up.

Re: Johnpro News - Please read
I am shocked and saddened by this news. I haven't been on the fix in a few days. I had just PM'd John a few weeks ago to ask about his progress and he was in good spirits and saying he was doing well.
I didn't know John as well as some of the other guys as i only knew him from VMF, here and Knott's every year. He was a fantastic guy who didn't take long to like.
I had the priveledge of being able to draw up an illustration of Scary a few years ago and still feel it was one of my best. His drawing will eternally hold a special place on my website.
John, you will be missed by many.
My condolensences to Tracy and his family and all the NorCaler's that will have one less seat filled at the poker table.
RIP, John.

Even though I never met John in person, it truly saddens me to read this news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and also to his close friends here that I know are really hurting right now. From everything I have seen you are all more blessed for having him part of your lives.

Like the others, I'm shocked and saddened by the news. John was the one guy anyone could rely on to answer any question you had about anything. And never did he make anyone feel bad for asking. The minute and the way he responded you knew you had a friend for life. Johnis one of life's best examples for the use of internet, he used it to enrich more people's lifes than most people would believe possible.

I never met John that I remember. But may have in the early 90's when we attended several functions with the Sacramento Club while I was in the DVMA club. But I had lots of correspondences with him when I was putting my electric fan in my 66. He readily sent pictures and advice how to install the fan. He will be missed in the how-to Mustang world.

Re: Johnpro News - Please read
I am so very sad about this. I´m in Mexico right now scuba diving and just got back in to read an e-mail from Stan that John had passed. I was afraid with his prognosis and his selling his car that it was much worse than what he let on. I will raise a beer in his honor tonight with a very sad heart.

I just wanted to bump in here and remind folks that a post box has been set up if you want to send any condolences:
Tracey Prochaska
3308 El Camino Avenue, Ste 300 #428
Sacramento, CA 95821
Don't send any perishables, since this is not a home address. I'll make sure the family gets all the mail delivered there.

I thought this was a funny photo. There we were at Hot August Nights in 2009, freezing our butts off! We're drinking some wine, but my recollection of johnpro's quote was: "G0DDAMN, it's cold out!!!"

Always on vacation!
I'll read all the posts in this thread later....
WTF? I was taking the Waldopro/Johnpro picture around taking pics of it all week during my tour! I don't remember what day I called, but I had taken a pic and had a feeling I needed to call. I called and left a message!
I am sitting here at home on the first day of my vacation with a tears in my eyes wondering if I should even post all the pics and the story behind the pics I took of Waldopro/Johnpro's travels to Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore....???
I am so sad for Tracy, I will miss John very much and to Tracy, anything Amber and I can be now and in the near future, please let us know. The hood from the 66 is on my 65 and I will do my very best to make John proud of it. It will always remain a part of my 65 as long as I have the car.
I am in shock, all I can say is WTF???????????
With love and my prayers, Thank you John :WP for being a friend! You will be missed!
