I have just heard from Monica and she is very traumatized. She talked to John last night. She has just received word that John was found dead on his driveway this morning. This is all I know at this time.

So sorry to hear that. Even more reason for me to keep my Spider and make John proud.

Very sad to hear.

That is terrible. Today Monica just sent me some pics John took at the ATDI; she must not have known at that time, because she didn't mention it in her message. I just sent them both a thank you e-mail; now I feel like an idiot. He was a nice guy.

sad indeed ..... may he rest in peace.

Don't feel right about asking, obviously this person is close to some you, but who is John Manske ?

Could we hear maybe a little bit about john and his life ?

Ron.

I never had the pleasure of meeting John.
It will be my loss for that and all of our loss for his passing

John Manske owns a Spider and has the http://tr7spider.com/ and http://www.tr7spiderregistry.com/ web pages. He has been a member here for several years and has attended many Triumph Shows across the country. He was a heck of a nice guy and a great friend to Monica. He went to two Triumphest with her and to Disney land last year. I know they talked on the phone a lot, well, he listened and Monica probably talked!

Monica said that there will probably be a funeral this coming Friday. The ME has him right now trying to determine the COD. Monica gets really emotional taking about him right now. She will probably post here in a few days.

I am stunned. I just had the pleasure of meeting John and Monica at the All Triumph Drive-In earlier this month.
