Forum member FELNGR8 (Chuck McConnell) passed away on 12/23/07 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. I just wanted to post a memorial for him since it's been a year and he's been on my mind a lot this holiday season.

I met Chuck at a CorvetteForum southeast region event. Since we both had red 1994s, we talked a lot and attended many events like the Skyline cruises and drag days at Capital Raceway, along with weekly cruise-ins here in VA. This man sure could drive. He was like a second dad to me and I enjoyed listening to his advice at the drag days and dyno days we attended. My life has truly been enriched from knowing him.

Here are some other threads about Chuck's passing, with photos and tributes:

If you want a real treat, go to youtube.com and search the videos for the user 'vetteguy1943'. You will see the videos Chuck made of his driving at the Tail of the Dragon. Like I said, the man could drive!

RIP Chuck, we will forever miss you.
