John had heart problems throughout his adult life.
He wasn't able to do his long walks the past couple years due to his knee, he was concerned about regaining the weight he lost from his walks.
Him not feeling well over the past several months was probably an indication something wasn't right.
I'm sure going to miss him, he was one of a kind.
 
Just came online. This was not what I expected to see. Very sad news. Prayers for him and his family.
 
I really enjoyed his intelligent posts and his experience. Next time you hear thunder don't worry it's just John firing up his new fueler.
 
I am very sorry to Hear this!
John was my favorite on the Mopar forums.

We talked about personal issues as well as Mopar
stuff. He was a Blessing to me and an encouragement to me
talking to me when I was going thru health issues!

HE WILL BE MISSED.
 
This is just a suggestion and I honestly have no idea how one would go about this. And I know there would be an element of timing here with family grieving etc.

But PBRs passion (or one of his passions anyway) was porting the SBM heads, and sharing general information that you would discover in this process. I wonder would it be possible to get ahold of one of his last copies and have someone digitize it and release the tool path files. This would become the PBR port file and could be a freeware of sorts you could take to a CNC operation and have them port the heads.

It would be a way for the guys legacy to live on indefinitely.

Alternatively you could also set it up so it's a downloadable file from a website the family has control over and it's a file that you would pay for which could help defray some costs.

Just an idea. Again I have no idea and I didn't know the guy personally. About all I could do is set up a website for hosting so if be willing to help there.

Someone else would have to take this up with I'm guessing his son.

RIP @pittsburghracer
 
I'm having trouble processing this. We used to chat on Facebook almost every morning. .......about cats, of course.

All you can do is celebrate his life Rusty. Don't let yourself mourn his loss. These things take time. I still get choked up over the loss of our mom and even our wonderful old pointer Little Miss Lucy.

I have been praying that God's Holy Spirit be his
family's Comforter in their time of loss!

In Jesus's Holy Name I am asking this.
