But obviously one John Goss is still alive. So there must be two persons of the same name.
Can anyone shed a little light on this?

I think the runmours of of the death of John Goss, twice Bathurst winner and Gold Star holder, are greatly exaggerated. He is happily living in Sydney, and his main activity is being Engineer for an incredibly beautiful three mast luxury sailing ship that travels the world at the whim of its Spanish millionaire owner. The ship, Addix, is captained (or was a year or so ago) by John's brother, Paul. Addix led the Sydney Hobart fleet out of Sydney Heads one year about five ago. John doesn't sail with the ship often, but he flies around the world to supervise refits, maintenance, and repairs.
What a life!
