Hot Rods I went to 3wlarry's funeral

Interesting and fitting way to have final services. A friends son, David, passed of cancer at age 35, he was a car guy (and blamed me for his "disease"). He had a very nice 70 Challenger that he worked on in my garage toward the end of his life, had a myriad of problems with the engine, and he asked that some of his ashes be dumped in the carburetor after he was gone. His sister, brother and friends drove the Challenger as close to his grave as they could , dribbled some ashes in as the motor was revved up. I think of David often.

 

Couldn't ask for better last tribute, you guys did good. Peace brother.

 

Fastest and funnest funeral I have seen. We pastors sometimes talk amongst ourselves about "putting the fun in funeral." Larry has done just that. Thanks for doing and sharing that, guys.

 

Larry has got to be smiling after that !!!!!

 

What can I say that hasn't already been said, but WOW. That is classy. R.I.P. MR ROLLER
Larry would probably say something like this "Man what a blast"

 

Wow, that was just so Cool! Going out with Speed and Style, RIP Larry.

 

That's pretty cool. You done good.

 

my same response! WOW! that was awesome and well done indeed!

 

Very fitting.We will be remembering his wit for a long time.Rest in peace Larry Roller.

 

Well, I think Larry got scared and slowed the car down because it ran it's worst ever I'm to ashamed to say.

 

Hell yeah, that was great! RIP Larry.

I'm sure he was waiting patiently, dadgum it.

 

It was the added weight. Larry was not a thin man.

Sometimes it is not ET it is how well executed the run was. From where I am sitting and I think I can speak for everyone here, that was a very well executed run.

 

Godspeed, Larry...and, as for your sendoff, well... 'Chute!'

Can't recall whose ashes it was that got poured down the intake of the Stone, Woods, and Cook Willys in '84 at Fremont ("Baylands") right at the foot of the tower. A bit 'irreverent', but very classy.

 

That choked me up, god speed Larry!!

 

You never hear about how much money a guy had when he passed as it is irrelevant at that point. Judging by the amazing number and character of the friends he left however, Larry was a rich man.

 

Nice Send Off at 100+ RIP

 

this place just ain't gonna be the same without him. Godspeed. Thanks for sharing the send off.

Very fitting. Never met him, but will miss him.
Last week, when I drove down to try and catch Squirrel on Day 3 of Drag Week, another too-soon gone racer's ashes were spread at the top end. Very emotional, but deserving.

Godspeed.

 

Absolutely perfect.

 

Perfect! RIP Larry

 

Bitchen! Good job guy's, and thanks for including us.

RIP 3Wlarry

 

He would have to be happy with that. JC

 

Man, that is pretty darn cool!!!....many will remember this for a long time!....thanks for sharing!

 

Wow very cool last ride

 

Thanks. I am sure that is what he would have wanted.

John

 

That was dad gum good. RIP Larry.

 

He'd be proud of you. Never met him but his posts were great. God Bless you all.

 

Very fitting. You will be missed Larry. Lippy

 

That was AWESOME! I'm sitting here with a smile on my face and in my heart. I think Larry would be well pleased with such a relevant and creative way of sending him off and I think it really speaks well of all of his friends and this hobby that he loved so much.

Godspeed Larry! I look forward to meeting you on the other side brother.

 

Class act, Larry would have liked that. Rest in Peace Larry.
