We have several fallen members here. I feel we should have something to honor all of them, past and future.

I'd be into a So Ca leg of this for the Krust Run.

I'm in for the relay if it makes its way to Louisiana or the scholarship or whatever as a memorial. Not a silly idea at all, Warren.


Thanks,
The response was gratifying, but I have to explain I was hoping to reach those like me who never saw John except for a couple of pictures as well as those who knew him well. Having worked with other people's money before in grants and donations I can say there is never enough and it gets weird sometimes. So I was hoping for something that was more about all of us.

To do anything at all I think we need to hear from those members who lead this site. I am new here, and don't have the history to pull something off without them. We can make this one of the threads that die off gently too.

This weekend I hope to mount the 3.2 for the first time and get back to work on the triple gauges.

Well that sounds like the best place to start and the following year finish. Figure maybe north and then loop east, zigzagging like a 914 driven by a person looking at the map.

I agree, and that is why I thought we could include them in this. I know I am getting to achy in my back to do the kind of work I used to do and the clock is ticking real loud.

Very kinda hard to do this when we're scattered everywhere. If there was a 914 memorial site established for the fallen members. Pictures, thread links, a place for family and friends participation for all. For Krusty Iike the idea of a Krusty day at something like the WCC. I'd buy a Krusty Kap with money over cost being used to support the cost of the site setup and maintenance.

How about we buy a set of tools that are needed by 914 owners.
We put them in a box and they get passed around the country
to anyone needing them.
A simple thread to track who has them last.
Receiver pays for shipping?

This is the closest thing I could find. Not quite the same. Maybe a small pic somewhere on the 914 world with RIP Capn' ?

The "Hat" was his trademark and once seen you instantly associated the two. Great T shirt idea especially when you saw people wearing them at Porsche related events. Instant recognition for the cognoscenti.

This is a great idea as well....

Maybe some famous quotes.

I'll never forget "Krusty Kredits"

I have spoken with John at many events he stopped by the house and we had a pretty good visit. My perception is, he wouldn't want any one to go to any great lengths to honor him/mourn his passing. He was a quiet, humble, generous guy who I don't think would want a big fuss. How about a small RIP Capn' Krusty, somewhere on the web site or a link to a list of the members who participated on the web site and who are no longer with us.

I didn't ever meet John but I was thinking about something like what Elliott said.....pay tribute in some way that isn't too obtrusive. John sold me parts and gave me advice in a genuine manner...it seems like he wouldn't want too much fuss. I think it would be nice to have a sticker or hat with his Krusty avatar image. Maybe we could come up with a way to donate proceeds to his family or a charity of their choice?
