Just received word today of a fellow member and personal friend of mine "pittsburghracer" John Cadamore has passed away. I know John posted here almost daily as he always encouraged me to post stuff as well. I received word that John passed away today of a suspected heart attack. I figured you fine folks would appreciate knowing. I will post the obituary as soon as possible -Ken

He helped me build my 340, was always happy to help out this stupid kid and sell me his "spare" parts. I'd stop over to bs and end up there in his shop for hours watching and learning and asking 100 stupid questions. He was always a top notch guy...he will be missed

Sad. very sad and unexpected since he seemed to be in control of his health the past few years. I hope his cats find as good as place as he gave them.

Had the pleasure to meet him at Norwalk a few times and I really could relate to his no BS approach to building racecars. His honest basic replies will be missed here on the board. RIP Big John Gus
