    In my mind, he was Moon..... R.I.P. Had the pleasure of speaking with him two years ago while spinning a new tank, one kool guy......
     
  4. Boy, that speed shop in Heaven has yet another master on staff.
    A great old guy. Crusty and grumpy, just like I like them.
    R.I.P. Bill

    A true gentleman. Always loved that they showed a pic of him in the Moon catalogs.

    He sat down and had lunch with me and a friend at the SEMA show in 1997. What a guy. Now Barney Navarro has a playpal. RIP
     
  26. What a neat man . . . he kept the "Potvin" name and a lot of other old time cams alive and kicking. I used to see him when Reath and I went to haggle with Moon (in the 70's) . . . he was always working his ass off while Moon was busy talking :D
     
  27. Sorry, didn't really think of it like that. I was commenting more on the fact that he was physically able to work. Not the reasons why. I thought he was still working because he loved it.:(
