OT President of my club passed away today.

[Rodney Bullock]

William Jackson, the first President of Old Cars Unlimited passed away today. He was my friend and teacher. I joined his club in 1999 after seeing them a outing in Maryland. He taught me about leadership and how to run a club the proper way. I became the third President of the club in 2006. It was because of the club I was able to do public service, movies, World of wheels and win some of the biggest car show awards of my collector life. The old man and I use to go on trips to vendors, junk yards and private collections all the time. We talked about everything including cars, if not for him I don't think I would have had any antiques as he loved original cars.

When Don, chet, Greg and Jim where at the Sully car show last year Mr. Jackson came over and sat and talked with us for a while. He really enjoyed that day and often said that The club could not have me all to them selves when I had so much to give to the hobby.

I will really miss him as he was more than just a friend he helped me realize my potential. He will live forever in my memory. I say good bye to my friend William Jackson.

Having seen your cars and read your posts, Rodney, you are the William Jackson to the rest of us. Use what he taught you.

Sorry to here of your friend and mentor dying. It is always hard to lose someone you know well. People live on in others' memories as I am sure he will in yours. Think of him often and all the good times you had together.

Rodney;

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I thought perhaps I had a picture of him but I do not.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Rodney.

You do have some very good memories of your time together.

That's worth a lot.

Sorry for your loss, Rodney. Very sad when we lose a mentor like Mr Jackson. Looks like a part of him lives on with you.

He would be proud, I think.

I'll keep him in our prayers, Rodney. It is a shock when somebody close to you like that passes on. I had a couple of those kind of calls when two of the Pullman porters I mentioned to you died. I'd become close friends with them.
