With thanks to Allan Davies, Cathy & Ron Gibbs and the LOST Fraternity

The LOST Fraternity (Lotus Or Similar Thoroughbreds) are saddened to announce the passing of our founder, leader and friend Mr Jack McLaughlin.

Jack had many passions in the life; one such passion was his love of motoring and motor sports which led him to form The LOST Fraternity back in 2009.

Although he was an avid admirer of all things Colin Chapman, his appreciation of motor cars was extensive (for those who knew him well we can attest to nearly 100 cars during his driving history). Many joke that some of Jack’s cars never saw a second oil change before they were upgraded or replaced with something newer and shinier.

Jack’s enthusiasm and welcoming manner was contagious, resulting in many thoroughbred car owners joining the LOST Fraternity over the years. He was instrumentational in ensuring that we met on a regular basis, mostly every second weekend, and he was our own personal international correspondent at many a Goodwood Revival meets in the UK.

Numerous stories could be told about Jack that would take months to regale, but needless to say all of the LOST Fraternity members have memories of him that will last a lifetime.

Though it will be impossible to replace Jack as our leader we will continue and try to live up to his vision of what the LOST Fraternity should be to our members.

Rest in peace Jack knowing you will never be forgotten.
