Sorry about bringing up a post that was announced years ago but this is the first time I really went through this thread. Really sad in a way,
At any rate I had no clue Gecko had passed away. I remember him quite vividly when he lived in San Carlos, Ca. Both John, his son and his girlfriend used to come to the GGF meetings. One time, he attempted to rescue me and my Fiero one meeting night and got himself a ticket in the process. When I knew him he had a Fiero gleam in his eye. How do I know this? Because for awhile there he was on a "less than $300 a piece" Fiero buying spree! You know he got his yellow Fiero in his sig? That car had been sitting in someone's yard for years. John was on the hunt for another Fiero, was driving down a side street when he spotted this GT sitting on the side of a house, walked up to the house and knocked on the door and offered to take it off the guys hands. He got that thing for a song. And last but not least, if you wore blue shoes, John would never let up on you. He might even take a picture of them and post it here on PFF. Rest in peace John... Kit
