    Ken;

    My sincere condolences to you and your family. Rich will be greatly missed on this forum and to me personally. He was very generous with his knowledge, ideas and talent helping us Mark II owners keeping their car running on the road. Everytime the lttle red warning gas light goes on, I'll be thinking of the extraordinary Mad Scientist.

    Default Condolences on the passing of Mad

    Ken:
    Mad was one of a kind. An extremely creative guy to didn't mind thinking out of the box to solve a problem. I enjoyed reading his threads for sure. Mad was great at improvising and could almost take any readily available object and make it work for an unintended purpose. When faced with missing stainless steel molding, Mad took wood and made his own. In rebuilding a Mark II clock, Mad went to some variety store, like K-Mart, and made his own.
    He could always be counted on to help solve the most difficult problems.
    He is deeply missed.

    My condolences to Rich's family and friends. His contributions were certainly a vital part of this Forum and enriched us all. I'll miss his posts; strange how we can become "friends" in cyberspace without ever really meeting one another in person.

    there will be a gathering of friends/fellow car enthusiasts at Countyside Funeral Home in Roselle Illinois
    this Saturday from 12 to 4
    not so much of a memorial service as such, because he just wasn't all that into that sort of thing, but a gathering of friends/fellow car enthusiasts is the sort of thing he would have done...

    Ken, I am so sorry to hear this...I've lost my father as well. Your Dad was for me a mentor in the antique car hobby. I bought some parts from him a few years ago and we communicated whenever I had a problem that his expertise could resolve. He was generous with his time, kind to strangers like me and a kindred spirit that helped unite this Forum. Please consider this group your friends and don't hesitate to contact me/us if you need someone to talk to.
