Buick Brother Special_350 died a hero!

How sad and such a waste.

 

It seems like the good ones always go first..

 

R.I.P. Juan

 

some times I feel as they were angels and had completed God's work here on earth and were called back.

I believe that to be true, my Friend. Posted this video before, where I felt it was pertinent. Yes, I believe the are Guardian Angels such as this.
This is my favorite song/video of all time:

So sorry to hear this, a precious life lost for no reason.

X2, well said.

We would all be better off if we had good friends like you and Juan.

 

I am as well sorry for your loss. This brings to mind, with a heavy heart, a couple of "teachers" I had growing up learning about cars. They, just as you, didn't have to go out of your way to teach him, guide him, and mentor him through work that you both loved and still love. That is why when we lose one of these types, it is such a shock because we never get to fully thank them etc... So, in honor of the unmentioned teachers that I had that spent time, money, and whatever else, I have taken a neighborhood kid under my arm and am trying to do the same for him that you did. I am trying to be a life teacher for him, because the neighborhood etc that he is exposed to is not good. He doesn't tend to thank me or do the things that adults do, but when I see him realize what I am saying, or see him do something that the rest of the "kids" his age are to childish to tackle it reminds me of those that are not here anymore that were part of my car family. Reason being, they had faith in me, just as you had faith in Juan. It takes a very special person to do what you did and I am sure will continue to do because it is in your nature. You do not buy it in a store.... Quite frankly, we tend to be closer to them then our blood family. So, yes everytime we get in the car or cars we enjoyed with them it is special, it is just a shame that it tends to come too late. Always remember, they are with you in the garage and they are with you in the car when that favorite song comes on.....

The pain will turn to happy memories soon, I promise.
