Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Another short, but in my view, necessary update, report, call it what you may.

This Internet has put so many of us in touch with each other, furthered hobbies, friendships etc.

When I bought my Chevy C10 one of the forums I started to frequent was a dedicated truck forum, for all Chevy trucks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/index.php

On here I along with other people around the world, but specifically in the UK got to meet Dale who was a creative, and driven petrol head and builder. Always supportive, full of advice and gentle, generous and kind in his friendship.

His last amazing build:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=655167

Dale was a Quadroplegic since 1984 after a Motor Vehicle Accident but none of that ever stopped him pursuing any of his hobbies.
As his girls said, he was the tallest man they ever knew, despite never seeing him walk.

Sadly, he died on the 10th of November and those that knew him, lost a great friend and mentor.

Today a parcel was delivered, he and his daughter were collecting very personalised pieces for myself, Ian Brown and Mate Martin who all have C10 trucks in restoration process, included were Ontario plates for 1964, '65 and '66
Thenparcel had been sent to Ian, who then redirected the contents here in the UK.
After his death, his wife and daughter fulfilled one of his wishes, to send out to us the pieces they collected, along with hand written notes from both ladies.

This is incredibly touching and humbling.

It again restores faith in mankind.

I have a new fridge magnet that will hold a significant place in my kitchen and home.








I feel honoured, along with Ian and Martin, to have known Dale.

RIP Friend.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

It was very sad to hear of Dale's passing. That is really cool of the family to pass that onto you folks over there across the pond.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

I just wanted to publicly say thank you for the parcel from Dale ,Sarah, and Bonnie . I have yet to arrange to collect it from Rian , but look forward to getting something from a great man . Those who have read some of my thread , will know I work within the disability industry . I have mentioned Dale's achievements from a wheelchair, to some of my younger customers , that have an interest in vehicles so they know anything is possible . He showed great skill and determination building something that suited his needs . He will be missed on this forum but I am sure he won't be forgotten.

RIP Dale

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Sarah here

Those of you who received your old autos this week would have seen this. I will attach it for those of you who have not. Mom wrote the obituary in the memorial that Rian posted, I wrote this one. Love and thanks to you all.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Hello Sarah,

I finally got around to reading my Old Autos, and I saw Dale's obituary. I'm so sorry for your loss. Dale was one of the most inspiring people I've met. I was impressed with the creativity he showed in his projects, then even more so when I met Dale and saw the physical challenges he lived with. It was nice meeting you too, and seeing how willing you were to spend many hours with your Dad at car shows, helping him to get around in his wheelchair. I'm sure he loved that time with you.

Dale will be missed. My sincere condolences to you and your Mom.
