ktm Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I read the title and was hoping it was trolling for clicks......until I read everything. I am stunned, sick, and speechless. I met John quite a number of times at various shows and gatherings here in So Cal. He did work on my car back when he owned Beta Motorsports. He was witty, gregarious, helpful, kind, a true gentleman......****...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo250gto Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 RIP John. A genuine nice guy and wealth of knowledge has passed to a better place. Our thoughts are with his family. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) It really sucks to have to do this here. This is what I put on my FB page: Really, really upset to hear about John Coffey's passing. Don't know any details, just seeing a bunch of sad people posting on his FB page. Never met him in person, but we have known each other since the 90s if I recall correctly, starting with Carl Beck's zhome email list. We talked on the phone a few times, he sent me some parts. Good guy, knew his stuff, and as much as people bitched about his style of administration over on Hybrid Z, I think he had it right, and made that site a better place to be. RIP John. You will be missed. Edited April 26, 2016 by JMortensen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.pk Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Condolences to his friends and family. I never met John and don't know that I ever even had a direct conversation with him even over the internet, but I felt like I knew him just by reading his wealth of knowledge on here for the past 13 years I've been a member. His presence will be greatly missed. The z car community and the world has lost a great person indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 John was the man, I can't believe this. He symbolized what HybridZ is all about and will be beyond missed. I'm at a loss for words... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I can't add anything else anyone else hasn't already said. I've met John several times. He's always been an upstanding member of the Z community and I'd run out of paragraph space just trying to write out what I learned from John since I've signed up for HybridZ 15 years ago. I talked to DavyZ tonight to let him know as well. We'll all miss John dearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantZ Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I can't believe it. John did work on my car a few years back too. A great guy. My condolences to the family. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
