I am posting the note sent to me by Sam. RIP, Roy.


Roy Braatz passed away, almost a month ago in Hawaii, at his Daughters house.... His Memorial was Mar 19th, 2019 in Hawaii....

He was an Outstanding Corvette Enthusiast, especially the 1955.... He was very generous in passing on Info about the C1 Corvettes to
anyone who was interested... May he Rest In Peace.

I am sorry to hear this. I enjoyed Roy and his comments on the forum. He was an early Corvette pioneer and loved his C1 car.
