I'm going to miss the grumpy old bugger. He has been industry standard for many years. I'll have to see if there's anything we can do to help Sandra and Jimmy. Jim I like that give a rev for him.

Sad to see the old Marine go. He was a great person to know and always a wealth of information. The Cobra community, and I will miss him greatly.

Met Chuck many years ago at his shop. He helped me with many NOS and reproduction parts on my build.

The hobby will miss him and my condolences to his family and friends.
