John Quilter

Oh, how terribly sad.....   I was unaware AND I WILL MISS HIM dearly!      I complimented him ALL the time; his ability to create scale replicas was a real gift and a true inspiration.  My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, including MANY here among these Forums.   It's a loss for all of us.  

Very sad news. John and I had major interests in common and I enjoyed his posts here for years. He was a talented builder and an extremely knowledgeable collector. I will miss him. He is indeed a loss to us all.

Yes, I remember seeing his posts. RIP John. It is sad indeed.😟

God bless him. He posted over 1870 posts and last posted December 24th. So sad. R.I.P. John!

@perrone1 ...John's very last post:

That's a shock.  He sure loved creating models.  RIP, John.

How terribly sad and shocking.  John was a great contributor and friendly individual.  Just a couple of weeks ago he emailed me about a trip he had taken to my home town Victoria, British Columbia, in a Jag XK 150 many years ago, including pics.  Like others I enjoyed his many posts, his car knowledge (especially British marques) and positive attitude.  This is very upsetting indeed.  RIP John and may God bless you.

John was a regular for years at our local cars & coffee.  He was always keen to bring one of his cars and held "court" from his lawn chair, never a lack of people stopping by for a chat.  Here is John with his beloved 1965 Jaguar 3.8S, a car we had in common, along with our love for scale models.  

John usually brought a boot full of 1/43 models of cars he anticipated showing up to our monthly gathering and/or his latest projects.  Here is John (in tweed cap) behind his immaculate Morris Minor, boot open and deep in conversation on some related automotive topic or another.  He was always interesting to have a conversation with and will be a missed fixture in our lives..

@jerry-liudahl ...thank you Jerry.  John's work & dedication will never be forgotten.  All of us, especially me, appreciated his skills & steadfast commitment to scale detailed accuracy and authenticity.  Fortunately, I was able to compliment & comment on him and his projects numerous times throughout his years posting on these Forums.   I (we ) will miss John very much.

Jerry, thanks for letting us know. I will miss John’s posts showing his great model building skills. Like me, he was also a 1/64 scale model railroader. My condolences to his friends and family.

So sad to hear of John's passing. Many years ago, I mentioned on the forum that the rear bumper on my Durham Classics 1938 Oldsmobile has broken in half. John contacted me and offered to make me a replacement free of charge. Very shortly thereafter, I received a home made bumper from John- a perfect duplicate of the original. John was indeed a passionate master builder. I will miss his photos of his creations. R.I.P. John.

Sad news. John will be missed. 

Just thought I would move this post up. I would not want anyone to miss it.
