I think it should say what you and your family want it to say. Don't think because some of helped out with the cost we need any input. We did it out of respect for your dad. But your thoughts are what matter on the brick(s).

Of course I have the final say. It's not about me though. It's about him I want it to be nice and reflect him.

Jean is a dear friend of his and I value his opinion very much. Plus I like what he had to say.
Here is the newly submitted one

I told them to go with it. Should have some info soon on where it will be. Hopefully next year I'll be able to go see it.


I may have a work trip out to Akron soon. Maybe I can road trip from there. Seems like a 6 hour drive. I've never been to Kentucky before lol

Praying for you and your family Mr. Bill

Oh my goodness. When I first got my Corvette, as a bright eyed 26 year old, I put it up on jack stands to change the oil, and one of the rear shocks failed under the weight of the wheel because of its age.

Mr. Bill was one of the relentlessly kind souls who almost always chimed in to help me with electrical, mechanical, or just ****ling little car problems in the years afterwards. What a relentlessly selfless, relentlessly wonderful guy. Prayers for the family. If there's any donation being collected or anything, make sure it's publicized as I don't check in here every day, and would love to contribute something.

Update the brick is done. It is not placed yet but will be for the labor day weekend corvette meet. They can do an unveiling then too if requested. If anyone is planning on going I will have the location of the large brick very soon. I'd love for anyone who plans on being there to snap some pictures. I unfortunately can't be there.

I also need to get off my butt and send some thank yous.

This is awesome, and on the 6 month anniversary of my fathers passing.

Kris
Thank you everyone who contributed to this. You're all my heros.

Kris, I've been absent from this forum for about a year and a half and just stumbled across this. To say I'm stunned would be an understatement! While I don't recall much direct interaction with your dad, I did read most of his posts. He provided an encyclopedia's worth of helpful information to the members here, and hardly a week went by when he didn't post something in one thread or another that made me smile. This place just won't be the same without him!


My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Awesome Kris, it looks FABULOUS! And it will serve as a lasting tribute for one hell of a long time! Great job!

I don't need to be thanked, I was honored to contribute, and happy to do so, Kris. RIP Bill! Brick looks great!

Mr. Jean

That looks great Kris. I look forward to seeing where it's placed. I really hope you get to go see it someday.
I too, need no thank you's, as I know what you're feeling and was glad to have helped in my small way.
