I just heard about it, and the news is not good.  Apparently John had a fall, and days later went into the hospital.  They apparently found a brain bleed and operated on him.

From what I understand, John has not come out of it and is on life support.  Please keep him and his family in your thoughts!

Prayers for a full recovery.  What an icon in the Ford world of performance.  I talked to him on the phone many years ago (1988?) and he was very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful.  But everyone probably knows that already.....

Ben Hertel posted this on the Ford FE Big Block forum .........  Quote :  that was a week ago. John was at the hospital when it happened and has since been awake and even getting up a bit. He still has a big recovery in front of him but is headed that direction  :

Hope so .....

My best wishes for JV. I've met him a couple times and he's a great guy. Very good to hear he is recovering.

Can tell Elaine to make sure John has "CRASH PADS" down on the floor of his room?
(Like exercise mats in case of a fall)
They didn't do this for my dad & he got up out of bed after they gave him Ambien, totally out of it. Fell & broke his hip at 91.
He knew John V quite well, and I knew John pretty well, back in the 1970s. Been a long time.

All my best and prayers for John and family.
