Talked VW's and P-cars for a while and he did mention his son living on the coast and the cars you had. So now, every time I see an Split Window VW, I think of the time I had the opportunity to view one of the finest examples on the west coast.
Rest assured that his memory is being carried on by people you've never met.

Thanks for the memory. He was about the friendliest guy anyone could meet. A lot of people knew him. A lot.

And thanks for all the kind words, everyone.

I hope that when I pass, such kind words will be said of me.

Wow. Old thread. And I still miss my dad. No, that's not the Doc I was talking about. Is that someone you knew named Doc?

Edit. I just noticed that the poster has but 1 post. Will my computer be invaded by an army of bots now?

Your dad sounds like a hell of a guy, Charlie.

Yeah, gotta love the bogus posters. You should be safe.

Hope not...deleted.

Great story, and writing (duh) about your Pops.

That was a picture of my dad. He knew Dave Rasmussen very well and may have known your dad. His nickname was Doc.
They used to hang out at Dave Rasmussen’s bar at the San Francisco airport or his restaurant called the Shadows.
