John Velandra dead
A man in a stolen car crashed into his vehicle, apparently killing him.

That's is one random and messed up way to go. I know he posted on here a bit. |

Ah that sucks, always sad to hear when someone is killed especially that way. Kinda weird that it happened relatively close. RIP John.

I've interacted with him across this interweb and I'm sorry to hear about his passing, RIP John.
