Dying Man's Last Wish Granted by Hot Rodder

wish i could of been there...R.I.P. jeffrey

 

The first time i worked with Make A Wish was in the late seventys for a young man who wanted to do Parada Del Sol in his truck a 1955 F-100 with bad fenders Make A Wish wanted some fenders they got a whole lot of guys who worked nights and weekends to restore the truck from the local F-100 club. The young man made the parade, and about a week more, about a month, more than the Doc's said he would.

 

RIP Jerry.

 

Hearing stories like these give me hope for the world. You guys are great.

 

A touching story and a cl***y group of guys at Dreamers Rods for stepping up like they did.

 

That is cl*** with a capital C to know there are people that put others before themselves is a wonderful thing. To make a dying man happy what a gift!!Rob.

 

What better gift could any one do but to make a man's dream come true? Its people like these that make life worth while and give hope to the world we now live in. Bless every one of them that answered the call.

 

That is AWESOME Thank you guys for waht you did for Jeff and his family!!

 

Beautiful Work...!

Can you just imagine if the whole world was involved in DOING something of this nature instead of hating and trying to take advantage of one another? Thanks to all who were involved in this project. Good things do happen to good people and you just put some "good things" in the bank.

Hotrodders are the nicest people you will ever meet.......thank you for the great story. Big Bad John

This story makes you realize how great the hot rod community is. RIP I am glad he was able to see his hot rod at the end.

 

Thanks for posting this. The world needs more good news stories, even ones that have sad endings. RIP Jerry.

 

Makes me proud to be a hot rodder.

 

Another great story on the HAMB, You guys should be proud of your good deed, you made a dying man and his family very happy.

 

That's what Hot Rodding is all about! God Bless all those who made this possible.

 

First of all, I did'nt know Jerry Dahl, and I've only been in Dreamers once. But yesterday, a friend of mine came over that had just been to the funeral. His wife works with Jerrys' wife. The car was even at the funeral! I had read the 2 articles in The Herald newspaper, here in Snohomish County. I hope the newspaper articles, read by the general public, helped to portray hotrodders in a better light than just hoodlums on wheels. Hats off to Dreamers and crew, and the Thursday Night Garage guys. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

wow, what an amazing story and most of all....a bunch of amazing car guys making this happen!

Great job to all involved.Should inspire us all to do more random acts of kindness.

Also cool that he could leave behind something tangible for his family to remember him by. His Hot Rod legacy will live on for his kids or grandkids.
