We’re greatly saddened that a long-term member of Sand Hill Angels, John Della Penna, has passed on Tuesday at the age of 68. John would always dive 1000% into any endeavor whether it be a company he invested in, his friends, his family, or racing. John was a teacher and mentor to many and always made sure that those individuals had success whether it be in racing, business, or life in general.
