Guys I have no joy in typing this. As some of you know or may remember I take care of a older guy that way in my local car club. Quick back story ....... two years ago at our annual Christmas party Peter (who never came to these) meet me we spoke for awhile ,he was excited that I actually worked on cars . Most everyone else in the club doesn't fix there own cars . Anyways .... he explained he was very poor and couldn't pay a mechanic to adjust his timing and rebuild his carb, I happily volunteered told him money is not necessary I enjoy working on different cars ....... fast forward some more he goes in a few months afterwards for a hip surgery , I went to visit since I heard he didn't have any family local or many friends. It made his day when I showed up , I wasn't planning on going more then once but after seeing how happy an hour of my time made him I went every day a little longer each day as I was dealing with doctors and papers ,the person in charge of him dropped him off and disappeared (for the next 8 months) . So one day I show up he's upset they have him signing papers and say get out . They kicked him out they said his insurance will send a nurse to the house just take him home ... well that never happened no nurse no help no nothing I took care of him 8 hours a day for the next 6-7 months ,I learned alot about him and what a feeding tube was. So we spent alot of time together and after he didn't need me all the time we still hung out and did car shows or tried buying cars or he would tell me stories about his military days!
So fast forward again yesterday I went over to check on him and he was passed!
I lost a great friend , we lost a great mopar guy !
He has owned his 1968 Plymouth sport fury convertible for 48 years! The car is extremely nice he took care of it like it was a baby . Here's a few pictures of him and the car .
If anyone is interested in preserving this very org and nice car I am now the owner and I will be listing it for sale on a different post . But for now
To Pete ! ! R.I.P.
