I received sad news via the old  AMC-list mailing list and Eddie Stakes.

Apparently every AMC enthusiasts good friend John Elle passed away on Wednesday September 26, 2018.

He had been in hospice care since August 2018.

He will be missed by the AMC community.

RIP John.

What a shame. I don't think I ever met John personally, but his always-informative posts were well known to me and probably everyone who frequents this forum.  I heard he had been in ill health since his long-term girlfriend (wife perhaps?) passed away recently.

I had met him at the 2002 Rambler show in 2002. He had that white spirit. He drove from AZ to Kenosha.. chatted with him.... sad to see him go.

I am so sorry to hear that John has passed.  He was an integral part of starting the Cactus Cruisers AMC club in Phoenix that we started in the early 90's.  He will be missed by many and we are sorry for the loss.

He helped me with car information when I bought my Rambler in December 2015. Great guy. God rest his soul.

It's a great loss to the hobby to lose those of us who are "first generation" owners of the AMC cars we favor. RIP Uncle John, Larry Mitchell, Don Loper, Jock J. and so many others.
Long time AMC fan. Ambassador 343, AMX 390, Hornet 360, Spirit 304 and Javelin 390. All but javelin bought new.
