Folks Of Interest Pat Ganahl, The Hot Rodder Next Door

Thanks so much for sharing that! I feel like I now know Pat a lot better after reading this.

 

Amazing tribute to your friend. I think he would be proud.

 

Thank you for sharing

 

John, it takes a lot of moxie, to write the tribute you composed, a lesser person would still be stunned and searching for any words at all.
Bravo that you chose to share with us all in the HAMB Universe, articulate details about Pats world and neighborhood and your very special, fortunate, friendship and relationship with him!

Thank you very much for your words, great story!
Thanks from Dennis.

 

Thank you for taking your time to share your memories with us....

 

I read every word and all the words in between those.

My eyes became a bit blurry towards the end ... I wanted to thank you for taking the time to share just a little bit of your friendship. There are good people in the world...Pat was one ... I feel that many people who met and knew Pat are more the better for it.

Godspeed Pat.

 

What a very well told story. You are very fortunate to have known "Too Tall" on such a personal level. Thank you for shareing this beautiful story, and your great photos. Pat could not have done it better. Thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful post.

 

One of the best reads i have had period, thanks for sharing with us. JW

 

Got me a little misty. You hit the neighbor jackpot and it seems the feeling was mutual. Great story. Great memories to be cherished.

 

Very cool story,,,wish you & Pat were my neighbors

 

Well done. Thank you for sharing...

Wonderful. Thank you.

 

Wow. Just....wow. You are one lucky man.

Mods...can we get this 'sticky'? I think....no, I KNOW everyone needs to read this.

 

John, Thanks for your first hand accounts of what a Great Person Pat was! Like a few others, I had to wipe my eyes a little bit, but I also chuckled a lot. Don't be a stranger here, Carp.

 

Of all the tributes to Pat Ganahl, to me, your tribute is the one that affects me most. You knew Pat as a good neighbor, and a friend. I wish that I could have, too.

 

Wonderful tribute. Thanks for sharing.

 

Priceless. Great story about a great man. Thanks.

 

Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Very touching and genuine. my condolences to you, your family, and neighbors.

 

Well written wonderful tribute.

 

Thank you so much - this is an awesome read! Thinking of you all

 

Very nice tribute to a lost "Giant" of our hobby.

 

I have no idea why I am sitting here crying about people I never met. But, there we are. Thank you so much for your first post, John.

 

Great story and pictures thanks for sharing

 

Fantastic post, glad to have you here.

i have a feeling you won’t be the only one hanging up a new picture in the garage. I know I’ve got a spot picked out already.

 

Beautiful tribute. Thanks for sharing it with us all. And thanks for documenting the “testing adventures”. I laughed out loud the first time I saw it - Pat’s big grin doing dry hops in the driveway.

On behalf of all of us, please be attentive and rally the neighborhood in support of Anna. The shock will begin to fade for the public, her life has changed forever.

 

Thanks for the great story of your neighbor and everyones hero Pat . I've been struggling to write a comment that would be good enough about Pat , you nailed it .

 

Thank you John for sharing your personal friendship with Pat, hearing stories of being neighbors proves he was the same type of man we have always believed him to be, the educator & the humorist and a guy that eats & sleeps hot rod.

I'm sorry for your loss of your friend, mentor & neighbor. HRP

 

John, are you aware you have your profile turned off? HRP
