Hi All...Just checking in...

He was a very talented person and great family man....Hard to believe he had three completely blocked arteries and did not know..Was just not feeling up to par the last little bit..

 

Always a big hole left when someone so young goes. Sad. Maybe that's why the Irish have those famous wakes. Lifts up the spirits a bit.

You do get some nice projects under you, don't you? Beautiful work as always.

 

That last photo of Derick is good. Might be one to enlarge and frame for his family......

 

Sorry to hear about your friends FF

 

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your friends, too, FF. At my age I am losing way too many friends. There just isn't any easy way to accept it.

 

What Fox said.....

It is always tough to lose ones we care about. A reminder to take the time we have left and enjoy the things we want to do, not the things everyone else thinks we should be doing.

FF, you keep that pace up and you aren't going to have any time to spend on the Forums.

 

Some of the fulla's got together and made an Urn for him and a piece of old car fulla art work...



A little motor to help motor along..



There was a very large turnout as he was a real stand up guy...

Quite a large number of the fulla's put a day's insurance on their vehicles to have them there for him...





These are just a few as they were parked all up and down the road also

 

It's Great that there was a large turn out. It shows how well he was respected and loved.

 

This is one of Derick's ride's and they had it in the hall which was full to overflowing..



Lisa which is the little girl beside Derick was the only girl for the old car fulla get together every Saturday morning for Breaky..

And she was not just another pretty face as she was a real shop rat and knew the cars...



He will be sorely missed by friends and family...

 

Now THAT is cool! I have often wished that when I go all the wagon guys and old car guys would show up for a funeral procession. That would be so cool. Your friend must have been a great guy to have all those people pull their cars out for his wake, FF. What a great send off.

 

For some people this is just a hobby. For others, it is a lifestlye, the way we meet friends, the initial common interest that then extends to families, and a way to share all the ups and downs of lifes experiences.

You folks did your friend proud. Maybe his daughter will be catching a ride to breakfast with mom, or someone in the group, from time to time.

 

Must've been one heck of a guy, FF. Neat people.

 

Thanks for all the reply's to the posting...It sure is good when you realize that there are so many good people out there in this world of ours ..
