Very sad to hear this.... I always enjoyed JP's posts and his musings on everything from 914's to his most recent mustang.

Another valued member of the community gone... so sad

Very sad to hear. He was one of the originals, and highly respected. RIP my 914 brother!

RIP

That sucks, I always liked JP's posts and he was quite helpful when I was planning my /6 engine build.
He will be missed

He did every bit of work on that car too including the paint and engine rebuild.

From the other thread, it started as this:

He had those HIGH boxes he put it on. How the f did he get it up there??? Always had sweet nicknames for it like "the shitbox" . Did some serious autoX with that car. But when he won he'd post "got lucky again..." or "was the least sucky today..." etc. Very humble guy.

I always wondered how he got his car on those tall plywood jack-boxes too.
Very cool once they were on there though, it was like a car dolly

RIP - JP

Damnit

I realize it will happen to every one of us at some point, but still don't like hearing this

My condolences to his family and friends alike. Rest in Peace, JP ...

JP may you be on fresh rubber wherever you are.

RIP JP.

God speed JP. Only got to meet him once at Portland Parade in 06. Always enjoyed his posts and sage advice. Always to the point.
May your every run be FTD

,May his family get peace&happiness!

RIP JP....

Sad news indeed...the knowledge base keeps thinning.
Thank goodness there more and more of the younger 914 nut cases picking up and carrying on the knowledge and preserving it....

I am sorry to hear this!
Rest in peace JP.

Man this is a shock. Haven't heard from him in a while. JP is one of the classics here. Had a great time with JP the few times I spent with him. Did a few things in his garage with him. Was a great guy to be around. Helped me part out a burned 2.7 6 conversion I bought years ago. Case was semi melted. Was a good build & he helped me scavenge everything still good off of it. Was surprised how much stuff was saved & sold.

RIP JP you will be missed

I just dropped in and saw this sad news. Rest in Peace JP.
