Thread: thinking back, while heading home to a funeral

Tweet

This is one of the friends that I lost. John Russell This is my house in Illinois about 1974... and the gal is his wife "with child". :-)

I met him when I worked at a Chevy dealership in '67-'69. He was a wrench there.

He saw my paintwork on chopped bikes, and encouraged me to start doing cars by INSISTING I do his '56 Vette.

It had typical graphics for the time... and he left it to me when he passed at age 32 from Diabetes. I eventually painted it the factory red, and actually sold it to his sister when I was struggling financially. I was glad to see it stay in their family.

RIP "Little John" ...and thanks for the great times!
