Sad. I've been watching him for 30+ years. RIP. Wonder when John is gonna call it quits. Glad he's slimmed down for his own health, probably has diabetes which will get a person that age to get skinnier quick. I love Motorweek.

We've already been discussing his passing in the Scanner-Diagnostic Thread. He was a real expert in that field.

I am a big Motorweek fan too! This is sad. I hope John's remains healthy. So many good memories of various show episodes.

Thanks for the info. Marshall! Checked Car Chat and Club House before posting. Didn't think about the diagnostic thread.

Was just about to post this, very sad. For a while the Ford dealer that I had my old Explorer serviced at operated as "Goss' Garage" and I got to met him a couple times.

I'll miss his great maintenance tips! He recently had been working on restoring a previous project vehicle. I was looking forward to seeing that project completed. MotorWeek certainly won't be the same without him. Cool that you were able to meet him!

I noticed his YouTube channel had gone quiet the past few weeks and I wondered if he was okay...

Such a loss, as others have said, I grew up loving his segment and the way he'd respond and walk through the questions.

"and if we answer your question on the air we'll send you a Motorweek t shirt". I'll miss him and his segment.

Oh yeah, there are several actually. He's a real mechanic/shop owner. He also has a local radio show and has for a long time.
