[SEL] John Hammink

[Jerry Evans]

>Hello List,

         I have just returned from a trip and was very shocked and saddened 
to hear of John's passing. I never met him personally but we did have a 
fair amount of "off list" contact.
         He was always so ready to help with information - a friend 
recently restored 3 "M's" and I regularly asked John for information which 
was always gladly and promptly given.
         He also often went out of his way to provide me with artwork for 
engine logo's and gave me detailed pictures with measurements for the IHC 
spec. plates which I now reproduce.
         John was also always ready to praise someone's work and for a 
"newbie" like me this was very encouraging.
         Also, as a "newbie" one tends to "rate" list members on their 
input and knowledge - John was high in my "Top 10".
         His web pages were excellent and I sincerely hope that they will 
remain in place as a tribute to him.
         I do not know his family and also do not know if they read these 
lists but my sympathy goes out to them - they (and us) really have lost 
someone special.
         R.I.P. John - you will be missed.



Best Regards
