Folks Of Interest Att. WI HAMBERS... Terry Lapp (sargeusmc39) has passed away...

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but we lost a Wisconsin HAMB'r this week... "sargeusmc39" Terry Lapp to cancer.

I've known Terry most of my life and he's allways been an inspiration to myself as well as many other HAMB members and Hot Rodders around the state.

He loved the HAMB and the events such as "The Hunnert Car Pile Up" and the "S****drive"... and he had a P***ion for not only the cars but for the Marine Corps and all the members of both of those organizations!!!

"Semper Fi" and God Speed Terry....!!!!!!!!

A real shame, Terry was a great guy. I'll miss seeing him around town.

Man...

Always had great things to say about good people....

Thank you to all of you! The "SARGE" will be greatly missed by many. Words could not possibly describe the man behind the wheel of so many rides.

"Life is not a journey to the grave
With the intention of
Arriving safely in a pretty
And well preserved body,
But rather to skid in broadside,
Thoroughly used up,
Totally worn out,
And loudly proclaiming,
WOW !!!! What a FU*@#N ride!

son of "SARGE",

Prayers for all Terry's friends and family left behind. Thanks, Terry for your service to our country!

 

Terry was a great guy. The last time I saw him, he came to the shop to tell me how great the Lone Star Roundup was. He will be missed.

 

Rest in peace.

 

Remember some wicked volleyball games that guy was in at the corn roast in Fondy. You've got my thoughts and prayers and pops lived life to the fullest.

 

Hi Andrew...

Your Dad made an "Impact" on many of us with his enthusiasm and p***ion for this hobby and I'm happy to see you on this board on behalf of your Father!

Funny you brought that up... I was just thinking about him at Fondy... "Good Times" for sure!!!

 

Marines die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever. GySgt. Hartman, USMC

Rest in peace, my Brother.
