Default JOHN LINGENFELTER

It's being reported from several sources that John passed away last night. May the Blessings of the Divine be with him and his family.

I've read it in a few places also. But it has't been conveyed through FAMILY OR WEBSITE.


EDIT: Actually, it is on his WEBSITE. Very sad news. I believe he was in a COMA for a yr or longer.

After I heard this I was compelled to stop what I was doing and take my car out for a one hour drive. Thought about John the whole time and thanked him and the LPE family for such an awesome ride. Condolences to his immediate family and the LPE and 21st Century Musclecars families as well. HE was ONE OF A KIND.

I drove her today too. I had planned on taking off the track wheels and putting on the HRE's back on. I guess I'll do that tomorrow.

Its very Sad for us but not for him. He is doing fine now. :) I know he is at a great place right now. We will miss him but if we live our life's right we will see him again. This is how I believe.

My prayers go out to his family and friends. :blueangel:

This has been the saddest news in a long time. I had been praying for his recovery, hoping that he would come out of it eventually. My deepest and sincerest condolences to John And Kerri Page at 21st Century Muscle Cars and to the rest of his family and to all of the LPE employees. I drove my car this morning in silence thinking about him, and having one of his 427 TT packages in my car really makes me realize how talented and incredibly skilled John truly was. There will never be another like him, that's for sure. He will truly be missed,but not forgotten. :cry :cry :cry
