Hello

=20

Thank you Lin.

=20

I am truly saddened to hear about John as some years back we struck up a =
friendship as we both had a shared interest in models and wine. He will =
be missed.

Best wishes

Subject: [Healeys] John Trifari

I don=E2=80=99t know how I missed it if it was mentioned here, but I =
read today in the latest Healey Marque about the passing of John =
Trifari. It saddened me. I didn=E2=80=99t know John well as we lived on =
different sides of the country, but when I was restoring my BT7 from =
2002-2008 I often sought John=E2=80=99s advise and he was always ready =
to help. This email list is what made it all possible!

=20

Ten years ago at the Winston-Salem Conclave I actually met John in =
person. He had just driven his 100 across country from California to =
attend Conclave. I was interested in using a throttle cable in my car =
rather than the Rube Goldberg mechanical linkage (sorry if I offend), =
and John had installed a cable in his 100. Actually,  I think David Nock =
installed it, didn=E2=80=99t you Dave? Anyway, John shared his thoughts =
about the modification and let me take some images of his car. Note the =
gauges that David Nock referred to in his eulogy to John found in the =
Marque.

=20

John had also written an article in the January-February 2004 Healey =
Marque Magazine, or perhaps it was the Austin-Healey Magazine, about =
installing driving or fog lights in a Healey. I followed his =
instructions word-for-word in my installation.

=20

I hate hearing about losing =E2=80=9CHealey people,=E2=80=9D especially =
the ones who so graciously assisted others - particularly the novices, =
like I was 10-12 years ago.

I think the best thing we can do to memorialize such people is to make =
the extra effort to help others even if it is the 20th time that you =
have been asked about how to take apart a trafficator or tune an SU.

=20

Thank you John :-)
