death notice

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi to all,

I received the following e-mail from John Photakis' son; those of you that
have been on the listserver awhile might remember his name or some of his
postings. John loved his cars and our hobby and was a dedicated collector.
We shall miss him.

John
