He was a legend, he was smart and all around just such a nice guy. Not just LT1s but he really pioneered what a 4th gen could do. He was a heavy hitter and his loss is a heavy hit to us all. Rest in peace.

Really sad news. I was not fortunate enough to know him, but I've seen him around on here for years and have known of his car since way before I found LS1Tech. I was just reading one of my old magazines with it on the cover a few days ago. An old issue of CHP I think. I need to dig it back out and make sure it stays safe. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.....and to all of you guys who knew him on here.

I can't believe it. It was always great talking to him about his car whenever I saw him at Speed Inc when Larry was still there. What a great guy and he will be missed.

I did not know him outside of his posts. I will say that it always stinks to lose someone from a very small and tight nit group like the LTx crowd.

If his car is not running and needs anything wiring wise. Get in touch with me- even if its an entire engine harness or whatever, it will be free. Ill donate to the cause of getting a car up and going for a community member who dedicated so much to the community.

R.I.P. And my prayers are with the family, and the immense amount of friends.

Last I heard from him, that was one event he was hoping to kick some *** at... also, last he told me, the car was ready for the most part.
