a true hot rodder passes away...

so..i had my club member post it under his original post of the throphy stolen...but figured i would make a new thread. The winner of our best of show this year(whos throphy got stolen) passed away monday morining. his funeral is today at 2pm at the greenlawn funneral home on 176th just before pacific in tacome/spanaway. following will be a get together at his place out in graham. He had a hard fight with parkinsons. But ...when we got his throphy back he still had it in him to smile...then tear up. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who showed compassion and concern when his throphy got stolen and the overwelming willingness to help get a new one made! you guys/gals rock! Again..thanks...here is the orig post http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=720014&highlight=stolen and here is the video i shot when we returned the throphy
