Saying goodbye to a dear friend.

I got to see the Kings once @ TT the Bears, unbelievable. Show.Never spoke to torr, but loved his music.
RIP Torr!

 

Were going to recoup the cost of design and print- then hopefully have enough dough to buy two cherry trees to plant at his folks house- will be a surprise to them so don't let the cat out of the bag.

 

Just ordered 5 for my sons and myself.
Thanks again
George

 

Just ordered 10 for my family and myself.

 

It was very moving to see this car finally driving. The sound, the look, all Torr. It will be finished the way it should be.

 

Damn it! So sad. Torr helped me out on more than one occasion. He will be missed.

 

I will make Torr proud!!! I promise you pal.

Thanks to all of the guys who helped get "Inga" home!

Pete-

 

I'm pretty sure ole Torr was with his buds on the beach this weekend.

Here's to you pal! Thanks for not letting me get hurt during my multiple bike spills! Haaaa

Back to the top with a link to his memorial auction

http://torrskoogmemorialauction.com/

 

I won a part and would like to pick it up tonight, I also want to throw in a few extra bucks as a friend of mine told me that the money will be helping someone who was close to Torr....I am originally from and work in Medford, so would like to come tonight....then drop it off back where my barn/shop is...anyone on here involved with the auction? let me know as I would like to make arrangements

 

Bringing this back up -

Wow, I am still in shock right now. After digging out some old CD's and listening to "Fight Songs For Fuckups" in my car for the last few days, I decide to look them up and learn this. So SO sad. I have enjoyed KON since first seeing them play at the early Heavy Rebels in Winston Salem, NC. There was NOTHING like them closing down the weekend long show at midnight on Sunday with the diehards remaining and partying our asses off!

I was lucky enough to hang out with Torr when they played in Dayton not long after those shows. The turnout was terrible unfortunately, but you would have never known it. They played their hearts out and we genuinely appreciated it. I kept apologizing to Torr and the guys for the shitty turnout from my town but they weren't having it. Just enjoyed being there and doing their thing. They could burn a show down like no other - Literally! All the guys were great to us, especially Torr. Wouldn't even let my girlfriend (now wife) pay for her T-shirt. We drank, talked cars and shot the shit the rest of the night. I only knew him briefly but this still hurts my heart, Gone before his time, but never forgotten. Godspeed Torr. R.I.P.

 

Tough day for all who knew and loved Torr. Gone but not forgotten.

Damn. I'll be out of town. Hate to miss it. I'll have to have a Boston cream on the road.

 

This fell out of my toolbox last night, I'd forgotten I had it. I'm out of town this weekend but I'll be there in spirit. Hopefully Torr and Mike are on the other side arguing like the old married couple they were.

 

You are a true friend Pete.

 

South butler was amazing! The Boston shit box and the golden shower.... Head to head, slow vs slower, great time indeed!
