Default Big John Begovich passes on

John Begovich lost his battle with lung cancer today. Scotty B's dad was a fixture in the AMF camp since day one. Our biggest fan will be watching over us from above. John Begovich was the Throttleman for the Still Got It Apache one of his greatest loves.

Truly a huge loss for the offshore community. Some of the most enjoyable and entertaining interviews I ever did were with Big John and the "Still Got It" team. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Stan and Maria Lane

Just spoke to Scotty, he said to let everyone know how greatful he and his entire family are for all the Blessings and Prayers. Pop Begovich is now in Heaven with his Brother Uncle Pete and my Dad Jack Pensa, all hanging from Hudson County, NJ...Union City, NJ. God Bless you all, Mom B., I love you!
