Sadly, we lost an old member

[Realmongo]

I had lost contact with Fritz (65stanger aka The Big Blue Fuzzy Closet Monster) and recently discovered he had passed.
For those of you who remember him, he was very likeable and funny.
He was a real get out there for his community kind of guy as both a nurse and a fireman.
His car was a '65 Coupe, ivy green with a palomino interior and 200 I6.
I had brought him an 8" V8 rear years ago when he was upgrading the car to a V8 suspension but retaining the original engine.
I remember him battling cancer for years.
Rest in Peace Fritz, you are missed.

Hopefully one of his kids gets his Mustang and loves it as he did
I see it all the time where nobody wants grandpas old Firebird or whatever after they pass (sad)
They bring them to me to fix so they can sell them
I scold them for not wanting to keep the classics in the family

Damn, he came to the Cape when I was closing my shop and grabbed a bunch of Mustang stuff I had in the warehouse, that was probably 10 years ago. He was a good guy. Lived out on Long Island I believe.
RIP buddy.
