    I know the name but didn't see anything on his passing in April that I remember.

    A true gentleman and a brain filled to the max with information he shared with those who asked. His business will live on being purchased by a Fordbarner. He lives on.

    The new owners are "Third Gen Automotive" and will be open in October for business.

  6. Is being mad going to make a difference, remember the man for what he did and who he was, we don't get to pick a time for our demise. HRP

  8. The thread title is not a good way to remember someone who has passed. Sounds like its more about you than him.....

    It IS. Why do you think they have wakes and funerals? The dearly departed don't know...or feel. I've often thought about this, resultant from a funeral of a friend I couldn't make.
    I rationalized...'He probably knows...' then, 'If he doesn't, I'll have slid...'
    BUT, it sounds more like the poster just watched Sally Fields deliver her speech in Steel Magnolias!

    Grief is often a mix of sadness, anger, and things we can't articulate. If you can't relate, you don't necessarily need to comment.
     
  11. Thanks to Michael Driskell for picking up the torch and continuing the tradition.
    So many folks who helped to make our hobby successful have passed on, unfortunately.
    Roy was one.

    Well, I guess this is a forum. My point was a play on a old movie. It was a shock to find out the way I did and was just sort of thinking the HAMB was an apropo place to say goodbye and let others know as well. And To with respect.. comment on having known him. To the others, I’m sorry you couldnt just be in the moment and do the same. As the ones who new him, he wouldn’t expect any less for all this. Roy, thanks again for all your help and enjoyable conversation.

  13. Sorry for the loss. Knowledge is gathered over time and hopefully shared so others can share to others.

    The good that we do is left behind for others to enjoy.
    His legacy will live on. A very good man.

    Very sorry to hear of your friends passing.
    I always felt that it was better to celebrate our loved one's departure from this Earth, in a positive mode, rather than to ever let anything " negative " be associated with their memory.

    My condolences to his family and friends. Interacted with him a number of times, usually at Hershey and found him to have a wealth of knowledge and spirit. Indeed a special person.
