    Have a funeral to go to on Tuesday. One of my Tuesday morning "breakfast club" quietly p***ed last Thursday evening.
    Age of 83, but he had advanced COPD and just couldn't process oxygen like his body needed.

    Owned a '67 Caddy convertible, but his most iconic car was Christine. Not just any Christine clone, either. Yes, it was a clone, but it was the clone that ERTL used, back in the day, to produce their Christine model kit. He was over at a car show in Dubuque, and one of the execs from ERTL happened to be wandering through, and saw his car, and it went from there.

    Jerry, you will be missed.....Roger

    Jerry, at least the back of his head, sitting behind his daughter's car. Pic was taken from HAMB coverage of the 2025 Kenosha Homecoming Show Pics in the Off Topic section. His grandson's American was also pictured a couple of cars later in the post.
    RIP.
