I am very sad to report that John Schweizer aka John (C-IL) has passed away. John was a Forum member for as long as I can remember and may very well have been one of the original people to post on here. He had a vast array of AC knowledge and experience. He was always one of my resources when I needed to talk anything about Allis-Chalmers and Orange. He always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. I know he considered many of the people on here to be his friends.
Here is a link to his obituary:
Please remember and support John's family with your prayers of support and comfort.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I never personally met him, but he was an AC guy to the core. Thoughts and prayers to his family - 58 is too young.

Shock is not the word! This is unbelievable!! So sorry to hear this news. A super guy John was. I always looked forward to seeing him at Dale's show and GOTO's. Does anyone know what happened?? He just had a bunch of his tractors and equipment to sell because of a new endever he was looking into doing. Someone mentioned him looking into buying a Helicopter or somethin'.... Wow, ya just never know. Prayers for him and his family. Our AC family lost a great man...

What a loss to our and his family. We will all miss his posts and his knowledge. Reading his obituary reminded me of something that Steve Jobs said, "Live your life like today is your last because someday it will be."

John was one of the first forum members I ever met. That was in 2001 at the Penfield show featuring Allis Chalmers. I can't believe that he will longer be with us.
John was always the guy who put things together at shows...he will be missed. Prayers to Barb and family. |

What a tragedy. Such a fine man and I will miss him very much. He was always one of the first to say "Hello" and introduce himself to a new face. He will be missed by all who knew him and even many eho never met him but had enjoyed his comments and help on this forum. May God's peace and comfort and peace rest with his family. God Bless.

I am thankful to have met John a few months ago, I bought a tractor from him. He seemed like a very down to earth man and was a great joy to talk with. He was a wealth of knowledge and will be missed. God bless his family.
