It's my sad duty to tell you that our own Cap'n Krusty, John Larson, has passed away from pancreatic cancer. It was my honor to call him my friend.

I did not personally know him, but his build thread of his grey Subaru powered 914 inspired me and I followed it with great interest. You will be in my thoughts John Larson and family, rest peacefully my friend.

I feared it was something drastic that came on sudden. The was a piece about pancreatic cancer on one of the morning shows. People feel fine one day, bad the next, and the progression is rapid and fatal.

When John explained things, in his special way, I read and paid attention. I'll never forget his generosity when he hosted lunch at his shop during the 05' WCR. Nor his help. My car would'nt start. He walked back to the shop and fetched a wrench. "Tighten the battery terminals". Vroom and off I went seeing John waving in the mirror.

Though I never had the opportunity to meet him, he earned my respect with his countless contributions to this community. My condolences go out to his family.

RIP Cap'n.
I only corresponded with you a couple of times but you were a knowledgeable and courteous asset to this community. The World will be a little less awesome for your passing. Thank you.

We will all benefit from his advice, especially when adjusting our valves.

My introduction to the Capt. was valve timing, and although I've only been here a couple of years, it was pretty obvious that the Capt was well respected and loved on this forum.
