Hi, I do not own a 914. I just joined this site to let you guys in on some sad news.
I'm deeply saddened to have to bring the new that Wes Vann passed away recently. He died from coronary disease on June 22, 2009. It's a bummer that we're finding this out so far after it happened. I'd like to think that I'm a small group of people that keep in fairly constant contact with him, and it still took me a month and a half to find out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm sure there are many many people out there that either knew him personally, or at least were helped along at some point by him or his website. ( Wes Vann's Honda Page ) Let's get a thread going where we can all share our "Wes stories." photos, etc. One of my favorite things about Wes was his insatiable appetite to "teach." For those that have been to his house, you know all too well that he never does the work for you. He always teaches you how to do it. Gotta love that. :thumbup: I'll end with one of my favorite photos of Wes: (IMG:http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c324/nihkonco/misc/wes/d_06.jpg) I'll miss ya buddy!! You were a great friend!! This was a "copy and paste" from a thread that I posted in a Honda forum (it was through Honda's that I met Wes). I wanted to post the news here since I know he was so involved with this site during his last project, the "914a": http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/index.html |

That sucks! You never know when something like that will hit.
I called a friend of mine around July 4th and left a message. He called me back last week. Seems he was in bed at home with a tripple bypass and had finally got around to his E-mails. He had a fever he couldn't shake and went for a chest x-ray. They told him to stay, pumped him full of antibioics to kill the lung congestion and then did the bypass 4 days later. Fortunately he missed the heart attack and went right to treatment or he might not be here. My condolences to his family. Ken |
