Lost my pop 1.5 yrs ago. He's the one who made me a sport car nut.
Was a big club racer in the late 50s-early 60s. Ran Jags, Corvettes, and Porsches. Texas region SCCA champ 1961. I think of, and miss him every day. Bet you feel the same. You have all of the little bit of sympathy I have in me. Carter |

Your Dad grew tired as every man does of hanging on to this life of ever increasing suffering, and decided to let go for the peace that death brings. For the son it is an irreplaceable loss of a man who means everything to him. Time and events will fill in that hole where a man once stood but never the memory of him. Now you have to carry on with only the memories of the man as solace.

Seriously, thanks to all of you. Your thoughts and prayers and music mean a very great deal to me, and I will pass this thread on to my family.
Pelicans are the best.

Sorry for your loss. Lost mine 1.5 years ago. The actual event was numbing, now I notice the little things like when I see a 300slr on the freeway (LA after all) or how I did at the vintage races, or why he wasn't there....
