Was unaware of John's condition until today when I received my America's Sports car publication from the museum. In it it lists those who we have lost this year form the Corvette hobby and John's name is listed. I sincerely hope this is incorrect. Over the years, I've had many conversations with him over issues I had no knowledge of and he is a great teacher to anyone who would listen to him. I for one have a great respect for our cars through individuals like John and their enthusiastic support to help us 'non mechanics' Please tell me he is still with us
Yes, at last report he is very much with us.
Give me a break. I can't believe they are publishing incorrect information like that. Talk about fake news!
Keep hanging in there John. We're all pulling and praying for you to be back on the forum with us.
Steve

The main thing is that he is still with us. Keep up the prayers and well-wishes.
And not just because he is the Corvette guru (which he is), but because he so often shows us what living right is like, through his example.
Go John!

Fake news I guess. John is apparently a tough hombre. It will be great if he can come back from this. Get well John.

John is a major part of this and other forums. His mind must be a true steel trap to hold all the valuable information he shared so many times.
You and your family are all in our thoughts and prayers John. Still looking forward to your next post!

John my thoughts are with you
John was a ray of wisdom when it came to questions as to how things were actually done during assembly. He was the only resource I ever truly trusted to give me the real answer on any questions. He was instrumental in restoring my 68 big block Camaro and I still think the car is in part a tribute to John Z.
Thank you John and God Bless You.

I imagine him in his Vietnam flight days.
What a great life he has lived. I hope his waning days are comfortable, and I hope he regains enough health to enjoy another couple of years on this earth.
Someone tell him Trump is now president (if that detail is missing from his routine).

Hey all.
I signed up for John's caring bridge website and this is what was posted...Fantastic news!
"Here are John's own words - I'm happy to be able to provide this update - as a result of unknown medical issues and all of your thoughts and prayers, my health has improved dramatically since entering hospice care in December, and I will return home in February.
While inexplicable in medical terms, John's strength is gradually returning and he is now able to walk with the assistance of a walker. He has been cleared to return to his home for further recuperation. While he remains under Hospice care, our reasons for optimism continue to grow. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers."
So, all of us out there, please keep John in your thoughts and prayers.
