A Thank You from Mike80911's Son

Oh nice, I did not realize it was on BAT.

Yeah he will then for sure. Just did not want him getting taken advantage of.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

We decided to go with Bring-a-Trailer because I live across the country from my parent's house where the car is located and trying to show it to people and conduct a local private sale would have been really difficult.

Auctions always make me a little nervous but I am hoping that the right people see the car at the right time and it goes to a good home.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I met him (and probably you when you were a kid) at lunch one of those NY/NJ Palisades Parkway meet ups and then caravans up to Hawk Nest. Good guy.
Thanks for posting and let’s hope the car goes to a good home.

I've been on Pelican a few decades and always found Mike80911's posts valuable.
(He was a user-name I looked forward to clicking on.)

I hope you will continue to whatever degree. My own car laying fallow in storage for too long.

That sounds remote. I'm sorry. Just an observation.
Dad passed away a dozen years ago. Lost Mother a few days ago. A bit of chaos and reflection. It all piles on at once.

If there is Probate...start gathering the paperwork now.

All Survivors matter...
As POA, I could not legally cremate Mom without a sibling signature who lives in another country.....
The fking cemetery would not give me vault information today to ensure the ashes container box would fit in their vault at time of burial.

There will be a LOT of paperwork.

You will have to find all former business addresses..

Notify all friends. Even after the fact. They want it from you.

-And start sending out Proof of Death Certificates: Utilities. Internet. Phone. Banks.
-Close down accounts and shut off all accounts.
-Some will try to lay claims and send collections and bill your fathers estate may years into the future.

Thank you for this post. I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you were fortunate enough to have had this relationship with your father.

Thank you and yes, that was most likely me! We've been going pretty much every year for the last 11 years or so.
