914 enthusiasts lost a pillar of their community this summer. John Larson (April 9, 1944 – June 25, 2015), known to many on 914world.com by his screen name, Cap’n Krusty, spent decades working on Porsches, and more importantly offered invaluable help to many, many other 914 enthusiasts. Although his screen name matched his fun, irreverent posts, he was far from “Krusty” in person. He was easy going, a slow easy talker, and his Porsche experience and knowledge was second to none. Some say that he forgot more about Porsche 914s than many of us will ever know.

The Larson family would like to thank all those who have given their support, words of comfort, and heartfelt condolences.  John will be remembered for his infectious grin and humor; his generosity of spirit, time and talent.  We hope your memories of John are as wonderful as ours.  

John, we love you and miss you deeply.

The Larson Family
