NOTICE: The Passing of another Great Enthusiast - Sherwood Lee

Sherwood Lee

It is with a heavy heart that I bring this news to you..

For all those that knew him, please join me in offering your prayers and condolences to his family.

His passing comes as a great shock and is the result of an unfortunate accident.

His love for all things "Porsche" will live on through our shared passion and this community.

Please share any pics and stories that you may have.

Regards,

Louie

A really good person. R.I.P. is hardly enough.

beyond terrible... never got a chance to meet him in person but I think of and thank him from time to time, especially when I *don't* miss a shift because of his clever ideas.

DAMN... condolences all around.

That's terrible. In addition to his contributions here, Sherwood organized a local monthly donuts and coffee event. The last one was last Sunday. Condolences to his family.

Glad that our paths crossed and we became good friends. Sherwood was 1 in a million, and I'll miss him. Condolences to the Lee Family and all of Sherwood's friends.
