RIP our member FTroopChief
I am very SAD to announce the loss today of a well known Member FTroopChief (John Penz) after a prolonged illness.
He passed away quietly in his sleep last night 2/8/2016
John was a Charter member at CICCI and a true Crossfire enthusiast
John owned 3 different Crossfires over the past years and modded each in his own way to make them special.
He attended several Crossfire events in the area around Texas
Most might know John from attending the annual Laps for Charity event at the Texas Motor Speedway (photo below)
Beside his love for the Crossfire and the people he was proud to be a highly decorated veteran
I have been told that John being a highly decorated Veteran will have a Full Military Funeral with the appropriate Taps Etc.
Funeral arrangements are being made today.
