I received a phone call this morning from the men's club president where Lew Mengle (shulew3) and I are golf members to inform me that Lew passed away from an apparent heart attack some time Tuesday night. There was concern when he didn't show up or call for his round of golf on Wednesday. The police were called in to investigate and in entering his home they found him passed away in his bed.
Lew came over Teusday morning to do some work on his 914. He had a love/hate relationship with it because he loved to drive it but hated everything that went wrong with it. He loved the outings with all the 914 members and at seventy nine he could manage to keep up. He was a regular member of the Dawn Patrol, 914 World and a great friend...He will be deeply missed. Al |

Thx Al. I propose that the Dawn Patrol attend this informal memorial. Hell, I might even drink a beer to toast my departed comrade. Question..........Will they cremate Lew's remains soon? I didn't get that in your response. They can't wait till March! Looks like Cesar and I will be doing some mods to your car in a few days, Al. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Might take a few weekends. Can you handle being without your Dream Machine for a few? This was Lew's idea originally and a few of us will make sure "his" project reaches your plate.

I would like to see as many 914teeners attend as possible and 914's must be driven to Lew's celebration of life. We can all lift a beer to toast our departed 914 friend. I will be giving Cesar a list of parts to be replaced on the front suspension rebuild. I appreciate you guy's stepping up to help. Now I'm on my way to radiation to get ZAPPED! Al |
