Dave lost his battle with acute leukemia Tuesday morning. He was a good friend and a huge car guy. He had many Sunbeam Tigers through the years and then found his FFR. He loved his car and he modified to have the look of a 289. I called his car the chameleon because it would be a different color every year. I've seen it black (twice), blue and red. He was looking forward to getting out and driving it this year. He had not been able to get out and enjoy it most of last year as his wife battled, and lost, her fight with cancer 5 months ago.
Dave enjoyed life and loved to talk cars. He would usually let me drive (chauffeur) his car on cruises as he just enjoyed being in the car and out with others.
I met his two sons last night (one is going to keep his car) and heard some great stories of when they were growing up. I will be forwarding this thread to them also.
Dave will be missed.
Here is Dave checking out my kit when it arrived:
