I knew John very well. First, when he had the shop below Toppers M/C store. I was just a 14 year old riding a 100 Berkshire. I wanted to hang at his shop, but he wanted no part of a punk kid like me. Later, I married John's wifes cousin. So I was able to get to know him personaly. John sold his business a number of years ago (time passes quickly not sure how long ago) and moved to the Carolinas. Became a boat mechanic as I understand. Sadly, he pased away this past year after suffering for sometime. I'm divorced from his "cousin" and not really sure what he had. Lou gerhigs or something like that. John was a great guy. He was the first Can-Am dealer I can remember and also had Husky-Penton mix, cannot remember if it was a Penton frame with husky engine or vice-versa. Rest in peace John---GOD LOVES OLD PENTON RIDERS.
