My World is Even Smaller.
Well, put a friend's family in your prayers please, as I lost another longtime friend this morning, who joined his wife who passed last Saturday. He was one of the very first people I met when I began my journey into the world of Porsche. He was a fixture in the Porsche 356 community for ever, a wealth of knowledge and a good person.

Looks like a man that lived well into his life and was able to enjoy it. Can't say that for everyone.
RIP air cooled man. |

That happens often with couples who have been together many years. Shortly after one passes, the other soon follows. They are together now..
Yes, RIP air cooled man..

My condolences, Byron, to you and to his family. I think this is 3 in recent history. I hope you get a break for a bit now. Be well, sir!

Byron, when you’ve been such a good friend to so many people for such a long time, you will experience more loss, but you also got to have so many more good times than most people ever will. Take care of yourself, Rutager

May your friend Rest in Peace Byron.
As we all grow older sadly we start to lose our friends however you could think of it this way: Most of us will die of old age & that has only been a thing in recent history.
