John had raced in both the Unlimited and T-28 classes at Reno, and had done airshows in his Bearcat and Mustang as well.

My thoughts and prayers go out to John's family. RG

Very sorry to here about Big John he's a very very good friend of mine. He gave me
my first Mustang ride and it was free, Iwill miss him. He was a darn good stick.

John was there when I first started going to the Races a quarter century ago. Number 98 was the first Bearcat I ever saw, and I saw it race hard...

He will be missed.

I was on my way back from Oregon today and saw an assortment of warbirds, including a newly restored P-51 (Kimberly Kaye?) at the airport in Yreka/Weed, CA. They were apparently meeting there in order to form up for a tribute flyby over the services for Mr. Herlihy. A wonderful tribute to a fine man...........
