    I am deeply saddened by this news.

    John will live on in my memory as a kind and interesting man who helped all who asked.

    A man I've never met, but who made a deep and lasting impression on me, and the entire Ferrari and Dino community.

    My condolences to the family.

    Dave M.

    RIP to a true enthusiast. I only wish I could own a Dino and enjoy it as he obviously did.

    My sympathy goes to his wife and family, you should be proud of him.

    Cannot find the right words, but i know that John will be sorely missed on this forum.

    Sometimes we never realise what we had untill they have gone.

    john's input has added tremendous value to f-chat. i think the legacy of the posts will be one that will help all of us. his love for his dino should be an inspiration to us - to drive and enjoy our cars.

    thank you john for everything you shared with us, you will not be forgotten.

    Mr. Corbani. You were a real mensch. I, too, never had the opportunity to meet you, but I feel like I knew you. Your sagas were the highlight of this forum. They will be missed by all of us. John, a donation will be made in your memory to the American Cancer Society. Shalom. Marc

    John and I had just a little interaction via the internet, but his generosity with his knowledge as well as his personal pictures will long be remembered and appreciated. I will say a prayer for him and his family this evening. It's been said before, but I'll say it again - John, you will be missed.

    John - there is a man next to you now - his name is Carlo. You can talk about Dinos with him.

    RIP

    RIP, John. Never met him but being a local guy and having followed many of his threads about his Dino it makes me very sad to hear he is gone. My condolences to his family. Saw him driving a number of times around town but unfortunately never got to make his acquaintance.

    When a saw the title of this thread I got chills. I guess I knew what I would find when I opened it. This is very sad. We all grew to know and love john through this great site and w/ the help of his great technical and inspirational posts. We are all lucky to be in a position to have true relationships that have developed for years with the help of our computers and color monitors.

    Through this medium, john became my friend. I am so sad to have lost a friend today. Godspeed john.

    I am truly sorry to hear that John passed away. John's sagas were always a good read and when you posted a question in one of his threads, his responses were always timely, friendly and insightful. Like many frequent visitors to the Dino section, I feel like I knew John despite having never met him in person. Fortunately for all of us and future generations of Dino enthusiasts, John’s passion for the cars and zest for life is enshrined in Corbani’s Corner.

    John, you will be missed but never forgotten.

    ...Keith
