Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Very sad. I dont know the complete story, but from the few times I had met Dennis, he had mentioned that before he was married he had issues with drugs, but he had been clean. I saw him at the salvage yard about a month ago and he was acting like he might have picked up old habits.

RIP Dennis

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

I knew there had been past issues too, but at the time he was here in Colorado a couple years ago he was clean, and life was good. I don't know if the separation drug him back down.

I'm sitting here at my desk in shock. Utterly effing shocked.......

He was obviously into something hardcore if he felt the need to reach for and FIRE a gun at cops. Doing that, you have a death wish.

Yes Ken, it is for sure. Beyond what I know personally, it has been confirmed by several relatives of his.

9126 Kendrick Way, Orangevale, CA.
You can see the GTO in the driveway of the house.

Very unfortunate to hear. But as stated already, it was a death wish shooting at cops.
