i'm sorry but like others i haven't been here as often as i used to be. i am terribly sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bill. as a former C3 owner, we had many conversations over the years and he was always there to lend a hand with a fix or a suggestion or a link to help out with whatever it was that i was facing. my deepest condolences and prayers go out to the entire family. find comfort in knowing that your dad was a well loved and certainly well respected member of this community.

R.I.P Mr. Bill

Update: Still waiting on the large brick. They sent me a rough draft but I sent it back to have it touched up a bit. Should get back to me next week I think.

I did order a small brick and a copy to send to me to put next to his URN. That is complete and put in it's spot.


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
Kris

Kris,

On Saturday, June 20, 2015, Grand Casino, Hotel and Resort, Shawnee, Oklahoma:

Over 250 Corvette owners and their families and friends will pause for a Moment of Silence at the 8th Annual NCCO All Corvette Car Show at the beginning of the awards part of the show 2:00 pm CDST, to Honor your Dad.

I know most, if not all, will know who Mr. Bill was. Let's all keep his memory alive.

Thank you, that is a very kind gesture. I miss him everyday

I've been so busy the last couple weeks I kind of forgot to share. My dads first grandchild was born Saturday May 23rd 2015. 20" long and 6lbs 7ounces of pure perfection.

Welcome to the world Kristopher George Karadimos Jr. I wish he got to meet him, he'd fall in love with this little man just like I have.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You *know* your dad is spinning around in his urn....He did not like the name 'George'. HEH. However, with his Grandson, I'm sure he would have been delighted...

How's Heather doing? Tired, I would imagine. When Heather is feeling up to it, we would love to have the THREE of you over for dinner.

We're looking at Grandson number 7 in August. By then, Bran and Jen should be all settled in, in their new home in Portland. At least they will only be 7 hours away, instead of 12-13! Lin will go up and stay there for a couple of weeks, to help out the 'new' mommy, while Dad goes to work. 'Course, Revin (Grandson #6) will be delighted to have Gra-ma there to spoil him...

Most definitely, he's still a little fussy at times so we keep our outings to a minimum. But we would love to come over soon.

Thanks Joe.

My dad must not have hated George too much or he wouldn't have named me George too hahahaha

Very nice Kris. You asked for our thoughts, perhaps you'd like this as a change on the bottom portion. Just a thought.

You warmed our hearts and made our world a better place.
We love you and miss you more than words can express.
From your family, friends and the CorvetteForum.com members.
Rest in peace Mr. Bill


PS You've got a great looking son. A cute shot too.

Yes..cleaner and smoother.

But...

*I* think it should be in your own words, your feelings, not ours. Ultimately Kris, it's your choice, and we will all support what *you want*, and gaze reverently at what ever is finalized.
