    Just read this. I've exchanged emails with Jon over the last 4 years, and this comes as a real shocker. My hopes and prayers go out to Jon, his girl friend, and the rest of his family.

    Jon and I met briefly when his 328 got platinum at Concorso Italiano a few years ago. But he feels like family from years of FChat. I really hope they both come out of this ok. I'm sure at best it will be a rough year or two.

    This sucks.

    Speedy recovery Jon. I've had two encounter's with wrong-way drivers on freeways. Both at night. Not funny. I called them in both times 911.

    Prayers to Jon, his girlfriend, and their families. Hoping for positive news and speedy recoveries. While I don't know him personally, reading his posts over the years makes it seem like he's a neighbor & friend.

    Hope that Jon and his girlfriend get the best treatment and fully recover.

    Things like this suck.

    I don't know Jon's financial situation but if someone wants to start a gofundme I'm in.

    Terrible news. Cars can always be repaired no matter the damage; not so for people.

    Wishing all the best & hope they both make a full recovery to enjoy the car another day.

    Reporter updates very serious condition with bleeding on the brain. We are all hoping for the best.

    Maybe Eric and the local Ferrari guys can get some flowers for us to chip in on so he knows we are thinking about him. I'm not trying to be disrespectful of his privacy. But it's obviously a serious situation. I'm sure every bit helps from friends.

    Let me know who can assist locally. Hard to do from my location.

    Terrible news, Jon is one of the most respected posters here on FerrariChat in my opinion. I hope he recovers in short order and that his girlfriend does as well. Prayers...

    Amazing how the Ferrari thing and the internet make you friends with people you've never met. Never met the guy but reading his posts over the years made you want to meet him.

    Godspeed in your recovery Bullfighter.

    Agree with all of the previous posts; I know him only as Bullfighter, but he has always been both a valuable source of info for many of us here (especially us newbies), and a gentleman. I hope for his (and his girlfriend's) full recovery.
