Sad news

I just became a NX dealer last week and went to call in my first order to John Stewart ( ownwer and founder of Nitrous Express). His daughter, Dixie, answered the phone and when I asked to speak to John she told me that he had passed away this morning! I knew he had phnemonia when I spoke with him last week and he told me that his family was mad at him because he wouldn't go to the doctor . Well last Tuesday, I spoke with his foreman and he told me that they finally got him to go. Today Dixie told me that he was doing better and then he suddenly had a stroke and passed away early this morning. I didn't really know him long but anybody that ever talked to John knows that he was a character. Real colorful and in his own words "one arrogant s.o.b." He told it like it was and you could not ever get off the phone with him under 10 minutes. He was THE most knoledgable person on Nitrous that I know of and was a true pioneer of the industry.He made everyone laugh and couldn't do enough for you.He will be greatly missed. God speed, John Stewart.

I have met the guy, and talked with him on several occasions. He is a good guy and it is sad to see him go as a person. But as a buisness man... Well lets just say he poked his head into to many places...

I never spoke to the man but I've almost finished installing all the parts to run my new NX kit. Ill think of the man who made it happen when I get my first run in the 12's. Thanks for letting us know
