Had no idea he was this local to me from Rockford Il....Details. https://www.fitzgeraldfh.com/obituaries/john-kraman

John had a car at Bloomington Gold last year. I had much respect for him and his car knowledge.

I met him once at the Harrisburg, Pa Mecum forever ago. He chatted up me and my buddy and was genuinely interested in what cars we had, because he asked. When I told him what I had, he was genuinely surprised and quizzed me for details. For a car who’s seen em all, it was a a very cool 15 minutes of his valuable time, a handshake, and a great experience. Gonna miss that voice of knowledge.

John was a genuinely nice man, I will miss seeing him at Bloomington Gold and MCACN.

Prayers Sent.
I will miss his voice on the Broadcasts.
God Speed Kind Sir.

He didn't know he was sick until last month. Very sad.

Good dude. And, as Jim Wangers would say "That guy knows cars"! Would sometimes have lunch with John and Christine on occasions he was in town - had Smoke House across from the WB lot most recently - a studio Musso, of sorts - which John also likes. Will miss those chats. Here’s to “brief illness” meaning painless as possible.

John had nice things to say about Jim as well, btw ...!

Very Weird listening to the Mecum Broadcast yesterday with out him !

Agreed

Very sad we lost John. Loved listening to him and his car knowledge was incredible. RIP you will be missed dearly.
