tough Christmas...but celebrating a great man

Early yesterday morning....my father passed away. He was surrounded by family and went peacefully... -I was able to share my complete ordering and building process of my camaro with him and he was probably more excited about it than I was. I purposely waited 3 extra days to go pick it up because I knew I wanted to share the experience with him......he got the first ride and the second drive........I am so glad to have experienced this with him before his passing......now I don't need onstar......IVve got an angel in my passenger seat!

here is a pic of my dad and I when we picked it up!

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your loss. But you are right, you now have an angel by your side to protect you at all times.

Remember: No one is ever truly gone, as long as you have memories of them close to your heart.

Why would you share such depressing news on Christmas Day?!
















I'm kidding! I lost my father this past August and I never got a chance to give him a ride in my car or let him see how the custom striping turned out. I'm extremely sorry for your loss and glad you were able to share some of your Camaro moments with him! Please try to have a very Merry Christmas!
