RIP John Ridley It is with great great sadness that we share news of the passing of John Ridley, a co-founder of the GGLC. The
friendship that began in 1973 with two Lotus owners, John and Jack blossomed into the Golden Gate Lotus Club family and a haven for Lotus
enthusiasts in California and around the globe. John's enthusiasm, spirit and joy will continue forever and we thank him and celebrate his
life. Thank you John and our deepest heart felt sympathies go out to his sons, grandkids and family. We will miss you!!
