Shawn89 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Tomorrow morning my family will put to rest a great man. He was a father a grandfather and a great grandfather as well as a best friend. Over the years he has helped so many people and raised his kids and grandkids to be who we are today. I owe him so many thanks for what he's done for me, half of which I may never even know. He's done allot of great things. From serving in the u.s air force to building and racing sprint cars, and even restoring several beautiful cars in the last few years. There's no doubt that my love for cars came from my grampa. Spending time with him in the garage since I was a kid, I've learned everything I know from a great person. I just wish I could tell him how much it all means to me. It's been an honor spend this time on earth with him. Funeral is tomorrow in obetz. If any of you guys are in the area tomorrow around 1130 or 1230ish and see people out in the cemetery make a little noise. He was always a sucker for the sound of a healthy engine:gabe: Edited April 2, 2014 by Shawn89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been to many car shows and won quite a few awards http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/thrilz4u89/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140401_144734510.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 RIP man. Sorry to hear. Sounds like an incredible guy. If I had anything worth driving I'd sound the pipes and pay my respects. Please know that you and your fam will be in my prayers and I'll think of him on my drives tomorrow. Cool legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get better pics tomorrow as long as it don't rain to much. As well as the last car they restored a 70 boss mustang replica it was equally awesome. If I can I'll gather a few pics if his sprint cars over the years and post a link to the album. It's possible some of the older cats here may know him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
