Well, just found out that the man who started my love of VW's has died. He was my stepdad for 14 years. Anybody gat any good stories of VW folks who have moved on?

Sorry to hear that. My father just passed away 2 months ago, and it's still painful...
Try to remember the happy times, to help you through this period...

Yesterday was the 1 year date (I can't say anniversary) of my Father passing. He was the main reason I drive a bay today. I've posted this before, but I guess it makes sense in this thread, my Father in 1968 with his 3 day old bus, 4 months before I was born:
Sorry to hear of your loss, like I said, it's been a year and it hurts as if it was yesterday. Best you can do is keep fighting.

the pic of Mr. Breeze' pop is an awesome memory for the "Breeze" family. As someone whose dad died when I was 8 years old (1966), I envy those of you who were able to have their dads (or moms) for such a long stretch of life, and have pictures, and other physical memories, of their dad. Unfortunately, when my dad died, my mother and he were seperated, getting ready to split for good. My mother burned every, and I mean every, single picture of him. The only picture I have of him is from the perspective of an eight year olds memory. After 40 years of searching, I gave it up last year.
But that pic of Mr B's pop is a great picture and memory.......

| Very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my brother 2 years ago and my mom two months later. My brother got me into VW's. I am still in shock over their losses. Try to stay as positive as you can and surround yourself with friends and family. They will help you get through it. Take care...Kyle |
