Default Good bye to my old friend.

This past Friday the 6th Daniel Rydzewski forum member Snoopdan passed away. Dan and I have been friends since we could turn a wrench. He will be missed. Good bye brother.

He had a seizure then a heart attack once at the hospital. He was only 40. Life is fragile stay close to your friends. It happens way too fast.

So sorry to hear of another brother gone. Its always a sad thing to lose a close friend. As I get older I think back on the good times I have had together with buds passed on. You may not be making any more memories with your pal but they will be with you forever. Hopefully thinking about the good times will be the way to ease the pain of your loss.

Life is indeed fragile, cherish every minute.

Sorry about your friend

Damn only 40 years old. Funny, this morning the FedEx guy and I were talking about the Vettes, and he
was telling me that he wanted to buy one. I told him that every day he waits for it is a day he doesn't get to drive it.

We just don't know when our last day is.

Yes Pete, Make the most of it. Dan had a 92, Then he bought my 86 and a C6. I definitely created a monster. He also had interests in audio and won too many trophy's to list. Dan was the most interesting man in the world bar none.

I glad he lived fast, and died young.

Only 40!? Wow! How tragic!

Sorry for your loss, buddy. RIP Dan.

Never take life for granted, I recon. I lost a cousin when he was only 40 to similar circumstances: just keeled over one day. He left a wife and two toddlers. Gotta live every day like it was your last...cuz it just might be!

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. At 40, he was way too young to have died. Will say some prayers for him and his family.
