WA 1st Annual Gargoyle Cruize 27/07/2012

It is with great sorrow for me to announce this to those of you that are unaware.
Last Tuesday 17/07/2012 - Janis Garoza, better known to his friends as - "John the Gargoyle" passed away after his battle with cancer.

No doubts, It's an Annual Cruize on the cards.

Sorry for the short notice Zedders but the event will be held next Friday 27/07/2012 for the funeral. I urge EVERYONE to attend to pay Respect, Rememberance & Represent the great enthusiast and man that we all knew as - The Gargoyle

We will all meet at Simplicity Funerals "442 Scarborough Beach Road Osborne Park WA 6017" and go through the precruize details.
The idea is to arrive at roughly 12:30pm for maps an a mingle.
Leaving Simplicity Funerals at 1:30pm following the hurst to the funeral location.
I will announce further details as soon as I know however, I would say allow at least 2/3 hours from when we start to drive.

A couple of things to mention:
I'd like to incorporate a fundraiser into the Cruize, Michelle I'm looking at you.
As far as I know, Funeral attire is to be worn but I'll keep you all posted.
To clarify a little better, after the funeral the cruize will go on (thats when the rubber melts)

I am organising this event on behalf of Garg's 2 sons - John & Rob who are to become members to this wonderful club of ours.
Please welcome them with open arms as I know you will.

Who - Gargoyle's Family & Friends
What - 1st Annual "Gargoyle" Memorial Cruize
When - Friday 27/07/2012 @ 12:30pm till TBA
Where - Simplicity Funerals 442 Scarborough Beach Rd. Osborne Park 6017

 

He will live on in our memories, his unforgattable laugh, his one of a kind personality and his traditional cigar, and dont forget his moto: "You dont make friends with salads" He will be greatly missed.

REST IN PEACE GARGOYLE

 

Sad news indeed. He will be deeply missed by all members of the forum.
RIP John

 

fark cant believe this, another funeral

 

John always said that I was an expert with these cars (very debatable imo), but the fact of the matter is that John was an expert at meeting people and making friends.

RIP "John", you will be sorely missed.

I have next Friday off anyway as I was driving down to Denmark, but I will be at the funeral and hopefully the cruise. Denmark may have to wait.

 

I'll be there as will cinda

 

RIP

RIP my old friend, you will be remebered and loved always :zlove:
I felt honoured to be called your friend and will miss you.
I feel I have to grow my goatie back now just to let the chopper name last a bit longer
Michelle and I will be attending and we urge all those in WA. that can make it to this event to attend aswell.
Lets make this a send off that John would be proud of :zlove:
Adam, Michelle will contact you to discuss organising a fund raiser or something.

Andy & Michelle :zlove:

 

A very sad day indeed.
We have lost a very valued member in Gargoyle
Our thought are with you mate.

Respectfully request photos for those of us in the eastern states that are unable to attend.

 

Absolutely, I am in the process of organising some great photos from the past, I will also include photos from this coming cruize and make them readily available for all forum members.

In the mean time, there is always "The Two Idiots" threads to look back on. Although I was Idoit 1, Idiot 2 composed ALL of the threads and the essence of his humour can be sighted here.

 

A sad day indeed. Although I knew john only a few years, he was a solid friend and a true "zedder" in every sence of the word.

I will pay my respects with everyone else on Friday.

 

I so miss those "Two Idiot" threads. They were great value and entertainment. :zlove:
Everytime there was a new "Two Idiots" thread, it was like "Oh god, what have they got up to now?"
Classic stuff.

I'm still shellshocked .....

 

He was an absolute ray of sunshine, a gentleman, a funny bastard, and as we all know had a certain thing about him that was unique, a certain wonderful zest for life and people, a truly bench mark human being. He will be missed.

Send him off in style WA.

 

hey adam, would it be out of the question to get some stickers made so we can express what a nice guy he was. I for one would love to have a "RIP Gargoyle" sticker on my zeds.

 

Already on it Anthony... spoke to Adam earlier, will have a load of them ready before Friday...

 

Just way too sad ... RIP Gargles ... I will miss you heaps, your Art, your humour, your love of life.

 

RIP Gargoyle ... our paths never crossed here on Forum, perhaps one day we'll share a cigar in Zed heaven.

 

Sad news indeed

RIP Gargoyle.

 

Didn't have the chance to meet you personally but you definitely shared a big of yourself here on the forum.

Will be with you in spirit, WA zedders. Hats off to you, GARGOYLE...


Arvin :zlove:

 

That's very sad news. John was such a fresh breath of air and with a great sense of humor.

Even though we never met, I will miss him and his very inspiring posts and optimism

 

I was very sad to hear the news and I will miss that smile and his warm and encouraging personality. John new what he liked and wasn't shy about saying what he didn't.

I will miss you John I hope you have found your peace and I have been told that all the zeds on heaven have 600hp and never overheat.

To everyone else unfortunately I will be in Sydney next Friday but I will be there in spirit.
