I am sorry for your loss. He will always be with you and watching over you. I lost my dad 29 years ago and he is still with me. May God's peace be with you

Your dad will be with you every time you take the ZR-1 out for spin. That is a very precious machine.

Peace and fond memories be with you.
Dad had "DU Z" on his plates. His name was Dulany and all my cousins called him "Uncle Du" Dad lived in Maryland so I will apply for the same plate in PA and keep my fingers crossed.

I sincerely appreciate all the kind words and prayers sent from my C-6 family. You guys are all class!!

I miss my mom and dad. Yesterday would have been mom's birthday. I am really happy your dad got to enjoy his dream car, at least for a while. My dad always wanted an older Rolls Royce, but somehow never got around to it, even though later in life he could have.

My condolences,

Tim Glover
