Today we lost Corvette Member and my Cousin and Friend 09/06/16

Sept 6, 2016 I was just informed my Cousin Roger Kleinfeld has passed away from Cancer.
He was true Corvette owner having own C2, C4, C5 and his C6, which loved the best.
Here is, his beloved C6.
Please remember life is short, please take care of yourself and see doctor at least once year for Physical the life you save might be yours. I can tell you he didn't believe in going to doctor's, till it was to late.
RIP Roger, you will be missed. He was 62 years old.

Very sorry for your loss

He was too young to pass but yes, it is important to be checked for things you cannot predict

Sadly, a lot of guys are more attentive to the health of their cars than their own health. See a doctor once a year and really be honest and let them know if you are having a problem.

Very sorry for your loss.

I lost my Uncle to cancer recently. He was a Corvette enthusiast and Corvette Forum member. He was one of my best friends as well.

You might say my Cousin Roger was a true Corvette Guy, the family just placed his headstone on his grave.

Today it's been 9 years since I lost my Cousin and friend with love of Corvettes.

It's shame he never saw a doctor till it was to late, and diagnose stage 4 cancer.

This is message to everyone see your doctor when you don't feel good, it might save your life.
