    I was at a thrift store last week when I found a metal cabinet, I checked out what was inside and it had a bunch of Ed Roth stuff in it. there was a stack of his funeral announcements, letters written to him from other car enthusiasts, and article of his death from the news paper, some fathers day cards from his kids and grandkids, and 3 business licenses. anyhow I picked it all up for $10. just thought you guys might think it was cool.

  10. That had to have belonged to the family.

    Surely they have the info re: the funeral & his death, the cards & correspondence from friends would be priceless though.

    I agree, contact Dennis.

    Gloating is a stinky cologne haha... glad you shared that.

    Definitely contact his family about that stuff it'd be nice to see it returned to them after all these years.
     
  12. How about you call me and we'll talk about giving the "personal" stuff back to Darryl Roth? The other stuff doesn't matter to me. I'm sure he would like to have the cards his daughters wrote to their grandfather! He was just Grandpa to them. NOT Big Daddy! I'll PM you my number...

    Know that i did not know. That's real cool. :)
     
  16. Forgot that
     
  17. I don't care about the other stuff. It's rare to find ACTUAL Roth stuff. I wonder who the cabinet belonged to? Obviously it was not his! Maybe it was Ilenes,his Widow.

    I'd have to say contact the family on that one and let them have first dibs on that stuff.
    At least the letters and the cards.

    Welcome .....ok you can do an intro now , then give Bad Bob aka "squirt" a call for returning what needs to be returned......and if you get keep any of those funeral announcements, maybe auction a couple off here and give the moneys to ryan , he'll like that and you can call it payment for all the know how and fun you'll have here.... Bad Bob i wish i could have been called squirt too ....
