Saaz (John) 02/10/15





It is with a heavy heart that we advise of the passing of Saaz (John) from Canberra, Saaz was one of the earliest members of OzSTOC coming from the earlier yahoo users group. John was instrumental in assisting the club to where it is today and where we will continue into the future, his passion, knowledge of the Honda ST and commitment to Ozstoc can not be stated enough. Saaz was a Moderator from the early days of the club and in 2014 came onboard with Pocket STocker and I as the third voice in the club management team.


We will miss you my friend....your wise words and your easy going approach to all that confronted you.... You sir were a true gentlemen amongst gentlemen  :-++

Wheather you remember Saaz on his white ST1100PY, his more recent Triumph Trophy or his old Suzuki, Saaz was a Rider amongst riders......Ride on my friend.

Lionel and STroppy my sincere condolences to you, your families and to John's family.

I only met John a few times and he was like a long lost mate. So easy to talk to, so eager for a laugh and a prank.

A true Gentleman, Scholar and friend I am pleased to have known all too briefly.

When I'm able to have a red again, I will do so in his honor.

Rest in the Peace you so very much deserve my friend.....

Cheers,
Gary

Speechless.This is a complete blindside.
I am just learning of this sad news now at work.
I was looking forward to seeing John soon after reading of his recent progress.
Rest in peace mate.
Your spirit will live on with all who knew you.
Please pass condolences to Johns family Terry & Lionel.
