    Last week John Whaley a hot rodder from Pierre South Dakota that I got to know over the years died while driving his model A sports coupe to my clubs reliability run. Today was his funeral so I took off in the dark at 5:30 and drove half way across our state of South Dakota to his memorial. 421 round trip miles. Hope to see you again John Whaley. 0169EBAB-9436-48FD-84E0-5C677D860B1F.jpeg 2DA33E97-EF31-405E-893F-287328358298.jpeg 5C7ED204-ADD6-4319-8E3B-876E961D9E3D.jpeg C79237E4-6291-4580-BB95-E1F43C9A7FCD.jpeg 07568C20-EF15-4544-8F93-BF3641AB08F6.jpeg 5C7ED204-ADD6-4319-8E3B-876E961D9E3D.jpeg C79237E4-6291-4580-BB95-E1F43C9A7FCD.jpeg 07568C20-EF15-4544-8F93-BF3641AB08F6.jpeg

  12. Folks remember how you made them feel
    more than what you said or did.

    You made a great thread and illustrated
    that with your images.

    Thank You

    Thanks for posting. I had the pleasure of hanging out and road tripping with John many times years ago but hadn't seen him in a long time. A big shock to hear what happened. Moral: Don't wait until "someday"....
    Nice tribute to a fun guy, he will be missed.
    I sent you a PM.
