So long my friend...

larry,

so sorry for your loss of a good friend. as many have said, real friends come along so seldom in a lifetime that we've got to cherish the ones we have.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys...and thank you Ryan for the Member Emeritus status for Joel...

 

Godspeed!

I have a local friend who has a large collection of restored early Ts and some hotrods, he has a hand made sign on the wall that reads...

"We are caretakers for a short while of things from the past"

Sad but true...cherish your friends and family for we/they are only here for a brief moment, sorry for your loss. I did searches for his page but can't find it?

 

Getting old is tough. My father in law said to me many times ( the hardest thing about getting old is losing your friends) I'm sorry to hear about your friend sounds like he was a good man.

 

Joel was such a nice guy,I'm going to miss seeing him at the lunches and the shows around Tulsa. Dam! Another funeral to go too,Im starting to worry.

 

Great guy, he will be missed.

 

Didn't know the man, but something tells me I'd have liked him! That's a sweet photographic timeline of a long loved car & it's proud owner!

 

I agree, Hattie. Very nice pictures. Love the one of him leaning up against the roadster, smilin' big.

Sorry for your lose, R.i.p.

 

I have a friend in Bakersfield, who is often known to quote the words.
A good friend is a gift to yourself.
Always saddens me when another rodder passes, whether I know them or not.
Condolences to you Larry, his family and those who knew him, also good to know his car will remain with the family.
Some things truly are priceless.

The knowledge base on older vehicles we are losing can never be replaced.

 

There are alot of guys like this that I've never met, but, they are my heros just the same. I love to see pictures of the founders of our hobby in the 40's & 50's building stuff that will be "cool" till the end of time.

 

I never met the man but respected, admired and was influenced by his Deuce since I first entered the hobby. Godspeed Joel.

 

Sorry for the lost of your friend may he RIP

 

I've been told it's always roadster weather in heaven for all of our lost friends , let us wish him GOD SPEED !
