Don Coatney Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 This subject came up in another thread but it got me to thinking this deserves its own thread. Over the years we have lost several forum members. Three come to my mind but I am sure there are others. Feel free to add the names of any you recall. Norms Coupe aka driveway Norm tops the list. Norm and I did a lot of bantering over the years but he was a very good friend and I sure miss his postings. Norman Baker is another. He really enjoyed his P-15. John Burke. John built his flathead powered hot rod from the ground up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 What was Norman Bakers screen name? What about Pizza Frank? I know there is one from the truck side too but his name isn't coming to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is one from the truck side too but his name isn't coming to me. I think his original screen name got lost in the last forum upgrade. I found him using Guest Nelsons Ply He always spoke of blowing the soot out of his engine so I did a search for blow soot. I forget about Pizza Frank. Thanks for the reminder.

Don Coatney Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Some of you may recall Christopher Koontz from Washington State. He also ran a business called American Cain. I tried to contact him last week but had no luck. So I did an obit search and found he passed on June 28, 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grdpa's 50 Dodge Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) What was the name of the frequent contributor from Loveland Colorado. He had a good old car partially deconstructed in his backyard last I saw it almost 10 years ago. He lovingly called it "Pigiron". I met he and his wife on that trip. Maybe he is still here but have missed him. GREAT guy!!! Should have searched first talk second,,,his name was Randroid.

greg g Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) We were traveling through Colorado with my brother and wife in 2013. We were making a day trip through Randy's neck of the woods and throgh forum pm and phone, we made arrangements to meet him and his lady wife at a big tourist restaurant for a late breakfast. Just as we pulled into the parking lot, we got a call from Lynn that they had to cancel as some unexplained difficulty prevented their coming. Never heard from him after that. Does anyone know what became of the copy of his book that was circulating among forum members?? Edited May 11, 2019 by greg g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started circulating that book with a note to read and pass to another forum member. Someone failed to pass it on. It was a very funny book.

greg g Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Still available through Amazon for $4.99. If I recall the plot revolved around hidden gold at an old resort hotel, with a sub plot of civil disobedience concerning basketballs and the local water treatment plant.

Matt Wilson Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Resurrecting this old thread. I was doing some searches for info on this site and found something of interest posted by James Curl, so I sent him a PM. Didn't hear anything for a few days, so I looked at his profile to see when the last time was that he had gotten on the forum, and it was some time in 2016. So then I did a Google obituary search and I found an obit for someone by that name, shortly after the last time he logged onto this site, and it was a Texas obit, and in one or two of his posts, he had said he lived in Texas. So I'm pretty sure that was him. Another sad loss.... Just figured it was appropriate to recognize him and to let you all know, if you didn't already know.
