I am so sorry to hear this, he was always someone I'd hope to meet.

I did not know that John Crouse died. My condolences to his family and friends.

Although John and I had our share of disagreements, especially in the APBA Offshore LLC days, he was a notable thread in the fabric of offshore racing.

He was interesting. He was provocative. He was a character. He will be missed.

RIP John. I called him a few years ago to order a few copies of Searace. I ended up on the phone with him for well over an hour listening to his storries.

Farewell John

[Bobby Saccenti]

I was sadden when I was informed of the passing of John. I first met John 1972 at Don’s office on 188th Street. Throughout the years John was always a good friend and a great Journalist and will be deeply missed. When John first published his famous SEARACE “A history of offshore Powerboat Racing”, He sent me a signed copy. A dear friend, Doctor West King (navigator on the first Apache Squadron) borrowed my book and never returned it. In a conversation with John I told him about the never returned book. Within a week John sent me another signed copy with a note for Doctor King.

My wife got me a signed copy of Searace for my 50th birthday. What a book. I had no idea all of that racing was going on when I was young. What a life that must have been. Rip.
