This is cool as heck!



(Dave) You know that you've made an impact on someone's life...when the mailman got done with his route, he came back and parked his truck in the show area and opened his hood, too! He was cool as heck!

Here's a few pics of folks leaving the event...including Ken Maisano, David Hill, Anthony S, Joe Camuglia and others :)

And as late as 3:15, folks were still coming in....

Thank you to everyone for their prayers, their participation, their hard work and volunteering of their time on a busy Saturday. :youguysrock:



Dave was certainly smiling down on all of this.

Bruce,

Thanks so much for sharing Dave`s Celebration with all of us. Great to see many great friends show up....including my good friend Joe (Jshep).

The Mailman Picture.....says it all. Dave touched so many of us. He will always remain in my heart.

You are so correct, Dave was indeed smiling down :)

Thanks again Bruce....really appreciate YOU!

Dan

A very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks everyone!
Anthony

I enjoyed meeting many of the guys in the forum (Thanks Dan for steering me here!). Thanks Bruce for taking the time out of your day to introduce me to folks. Dave was a great guy and I continue to pray for his family. Bird is awesome. It was a great day for all to celebrate Dave's life.

Bruce, I agree with everything you said. It was a fitting tribute to a great guy and one I won't soon forget. Seeing "old" friends and familiar ones is always a treat. Thanks to Bird and Marty (and all involved!) for the hospitality and love they showed everyone in attendance. It really was one special day!!

The impromptu "exhibition of speed" was something I had to do. I think I even heard Dave giggling, saying, "way to go Nova Joe"!! It was just my way of saying goodbye........ :burnout:

Thanks for letting us know about the gathering Bruce. It was finally good to meet you, Lynn and Holly. It was nice to catch up some with NovaJoe, neighbor Tom and Mark Sheppard. Equally nice to meet Anthony S. and Jr. and to put another face to name. It was a fun day, everyone had smiles. I also ran into a friend I hadn't seen for a while, Gary Perkins. A great guy who knew Dave well. Thanks to NovaJoe for the nice way to leave! :3gears: Watch the Rs! :grin:

Two iconic photos I’ve kept in my archive are from this site. Sometimes photos really say way more than any dissertation or commentary can. The guy jamming down the highway in the T-Bucket in the SoCal Car Porn thread is one, and that mailman truck photo is another.

I didn’t know Dave, Bruce, but every time I see that photo it’ll remind me of this thread and his memory will live on a little longer in someone he never knew!! Good on ya, a Buddy!!!

Cheers
Dave
