With the Corvette Forum, facebook and friends and family. So far we're raised $2000. HOW AMAZING IS THAT???? He is getting a big brick I don't care what I have to do to make it happen. It will. I'm super stoked on the love everyone has shown.

Kris, just sent you $100 towards the Bill Karadimos NCM Memorial Brick Fund to your paypal account.

Any idea what you want to put on it?

Thank you Jim, it's much appreciated.


WE DID IT!!!!! Goal was $2500 and we got it. Now to let the funds clear and in my infinite amount of spare time get in contact with the guys at the NCM on working on a brick and see if I can get member price. If not I think 1 year membership is $50 so that will still save $50.

I'm thinking a C5 logo and a nice message. Something like

George William "Bill" Karadimos
7/22/1952-2/27/2015
INSERT SMALL MESSAGE HERE
Paid for by family, friends, and members of corvetteforum.com
RIP Mr.Bill

Open to suggestions

Rather then "paid for by" I would say "from your ...........".
Overall I like it. It's more important that your happy with it. If I ever get to thr museum it will be something I will surely look for.

I just want to know what you're getting. Shoot me an email, PM or FB message about how much more you need to get this done, OK?

Your Dad helped me a lot, and I'd like to make this happen for you asap.

Thanks!

Jim,

No, currently a large brick is the plan as I know it. (different engraving obviously) I'm guessing if he held out some more a granite bench wouldn't be that difficult to achieve. Just guessin' though.

The granite bench might be a bit much. LOL Glad to hear the CF came together to get the large brick with donations. I don't expect that to happen for me when I leave the planet, so I'm glad it did for Bill.

Large brick is the plan and we have acheived the dollar amount to do it. A bench would reqire a lot more lol

You never know, good things come to good people. My dad is proof. It was great with all the friends family and CF chipping in how much we got.

I've got an email in with NCM, I need to find some time to call and talk to her about this to get it in the works. With my work schedule it makes it rather difficult, but I will get it all buttoned up soon for sure.

No Mike I am not. Thank you though. We did it and the large brick is on order. They already submitted it to me but I sent it back to make some changes. I did however get the small brick which just has his name on it and got a copy sent to me so I can put it by his URN.




Located at section 54.5 of the walkway at the Narional Corvette Museum if anyone is going there anytime soon I'd love to see some pictures.

Thanks
