RIP John Moffet

John Moffet, a local street rodder passed away on his way back to Michigan after wintering in Florida. John was a little older than me but we went to high school together and, nicknamed "Pug", he was the Fonze to those of us that looked up to his ability to build hot rods. He has been the Michigan State Rep for the NSRA for many years and was a co-founder of the Southern Michigan Street Rod Assn in 1967. He lived rodding and spent much of his life sharing and encouraging that lifestyle with others. He will be missed by many of us.

Sorry for your loss George.

This has been a tough week for me also. In the course of 8 days I have lost 3 of my local friends. All of them were car guys although that had various interest. Tough times for sure.

Sorry to hear that George. I knew John for 40 years or so. He was one of the good ones.

My condolences, George. I also lost a friend a week ago. It seems the older we get, the more often it happens.

John was the one that got me started on the NSRA Field Force 14 years ago, so I personally owe an awfully lot to him. He has done a lot for this organization & street rodders in general over the years...................so to say he will be missed..............that's an understatement!
