    Default Kintec Racing

    This is not a Pro Boat related post but I know a lot of us shop or have shopped with Kintec Racing and I wanted to pass along some sad news...Jan's wife just emailed me stating that Jan had passed away this past Saturday. He will definitely be missed. R.I.P. Jan.

    O no. That is horrible. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty distraught about this. I used to talk to him a bunch. Anyone know what happened?

    I haven't heard exactly the cause of death, but I do know he was hospitalized for a couple days and passed in the Hospital.

    I didn't even know he had health issues. Just hits home with me and reinforces the fact that life is short. I think he and Steve have made a big impact on the boating community. I hope someone picks up where he left off. Steve and Jan were the only two reliable sources to get parts from.

    This is true. A sad day for the boating community. R.I.P

    What will happen with open orders from his store?

    Guys, the owner just died. Let's give his wife some time to deal with all her personal issues before we worry about some money/product. There will be time for that later.

    I know losing money is not something that any of of like to do, but have some understanding and some patience. The guy passed away, nothing anyone can do about that. The only thing you can do is call paypal and talk to them about it. I'm pretty sure they will refund you for your purchase. Let us know your outcome.

    The website has been taken down because she don't want anymore confusion by orders still being placed. It will all be handled as others stated, please be patient there will be a time and place for that.

    Very sad news... I know I've heard some complain here and there but I've had great service and communication from Jan. He will be missed.
    Have fun with that....

    We had some great times running boats down at Jan's place and just hanging out BS'ing on the dock and at his shop. He was an awesome guy and I am glad I was able to call him a friend.
