I started to post about the former owner of the 6 I am working one in my build thread. I thought I would do as he wished and share something that meant a lot to him.
When I purchased the car I got in touch Rocky. I wanted to know some of the history and his time with the car. He was very honored to be offered a membership in the SoCal R Gruppe. He talked about a tour he was specially fond of as he was the planner. He asked for my address as he had something he wanted to send me. One day in the mail a large envelope arrive. In it were two booklets he assembled. One was about the the car. On the coverage was a note from him about sharing the info. Well time passes. I was building a house, juggling work and trying to figure out how i was going to finish Juergen's 6 with no shop. The post mark on the mailing I received is July 23, 2019. Turns out he lost his battle with stage 4 Lymphoma on July 22. 2020. I should have been a better friend. It appears Freda passed away a year after Rocky. So here is the first booklet he sent. A special memory as he wished. He also sent me a copy of the tour he planned. I started to make the triangle window into a plaque for him. I was going to mail it out as a surprise. I am still going to finish it. But now i have to think of a fitting place for it. Maybe the R Gruppe guys would do a Rally in his honor and present the plaque to the winner. https://www.californiafuneralalternatives.c...ry/Rocky-Kuonen |
