R.I.P. Bill Booth Early Times C.C. Member #1

[FrameDragger]

I have been debating putting this on here... but if there are any friends of the Early Times car club, I regret announce the Death of Charter Member Bill Booth. Even though he is over 30 years my senior, I came to consider him a very close friend in the short 4 years I have known him. He has found his way into many So-Cal Hot Rod Anthologies, but his friends and family will never forget his lifting personality, un-matchable spirit, and love for his self-created brotherhood.

God-Speed Buddy...

His Wife Requests Friends bring Hot Rods to Forest Lawn Cypress (4471 Lincoln Ave - 90670) to his service on Saturday (9/6). All Non-Members requested to wear Black T-Shirts. Not a bad request for a gal who agreed to use their wedding money to buy and build his trademark T-Touring...

My families condolences on your loss. Losing a friend is a terrible thing to go thru.

I was just thinking about the Early Times today when I came across this on e-bay Fresno Touring (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6057&item=24310192 06)
Godspeed to your touring friend... he's in a place now where he needs no wind wings... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
