Dang...but I figured the next news on Krusty's condition would be bad news. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

RIP Cap'n

I am saddened. I always regarded the Captain's posts as the last words on the subject. This weekend, I will do a valve adjustment his way, and in his honor.

This is really sad. I didn't know him but knew from his posts he was a real 914 authority.

Anyone who knew him, I'd love to find out more about his passion for the 914. Perhaps someone could write an obituary...?

Thx.

I always read the Captain's posts and would laugh at his direct style. He was a great contributor to our board and will be missed.

Rest in peace John Larson, Cap'n Krusty.

RIP Cap'n. We never met, but you're brutal honesty always made me laugh. You will be missed.

914World has some awesome people on here, but there will now always be a hole that will never be filled.

damn,
Sorry to hear this, I always read his posts. I used to love the back and forth between him and Bhole in the Rennlist days.

I thought of him the other day when I was messing with my Teflon braded brake hoses and using silicone on the 914. Those were fun days...John will be missed.

I was driving from Durango to Denver yesterday and the route took me through a little town called Santa Maria. I thought of John at that time. Very sad to read the news today.

Godspeed.

I was out of town all day and miss this sad news.

I had hoped to meet him at the last WCR but heard rumors he was possibly in a battle. I met many of you. I'll always wonder what I missed not meeting John. Even more reason to try to make it to events and meet friends.

I hate that cancer. That and Colon cancer. Sneaky, deadly, took another one.

Damn! I hate cancer. I only knew him through this community. I wish I had met him in person. I know this -- when you saw a posting by him you took notice and appreciated his wisdom and experience.

It feels like things are diminished. I know it's trite, but it's how it feels, something's now missing from the world.

It may be too soon to give much thought on this, but I do t think a Krusty forum (similar to Lapuwali) is out of the question...

aww man, that sucks.
As sad a piece of news as I could imagine about someone I didn't know personally.
I never got the chance to meet him, but like all of us, I gained much from his experience and wisdom and I have great respect for him.
God speed Krusty. Your family and friends are in my prayers.

We all honor "His Crustiness" with our own unique remembrances of his
pearls of wisdom. . . Knowing his advice is preserved on this site for some future 'new guy' to find and use
is what he would have wanted in the way of an epitaph.
RIP

I believe everyone here at World owes John. Period. Can we all step up and collect some funds to buy flowers and offset some of his loved ones financial burdens. If there is a existing fund established or paypal acc't please advise. TIA
