    We lost a good one

    Several of you met my Father in Law, Joe.  He attended many of our bashes when Lisa wasnt able to.  Monday, Joe left this world, giving new meaning to Veterans day.  He was a Vietnam Veteran and served as General William Mccafrey's crew chief. Joe had several Mustangs in his younger years and really enjoyed the bashes

    Very sorry for your loss.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    My condolences on your loss. I had opportunity to speak with him at a couple of bashes.

    You are correct, he was a good one. I really enjoyed talking to him and hearing some of his nam stories. Sorry for your loss but remember what you gained all the years he was around.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    He was VERY proud of his service to our country, and would talk about it for hours if needed.  I heard many many over the 46 years I have been associated with him.  He has given new meaning to Veterans day!
