Young Ed Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just heard through the 39-47 group Don Bunn passed away last night. The hobby has lost a great supporter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 A sad day for sure. I know he's been in failing health lately. I suppose in some ways it's a blessing. He's in a better place now. So long Don Bunn. Rest in peace. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanksB3B Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I wish I knew him. I hope there are Pilothouse Trucks in heaven and you can just ride through the clouds and skim over wheat fields. Rest in Peace and thank you for your great contribution. Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Never had the chance to meet him. Lived here in the cities but he was already pretty far into his health issues. He's in a better place. He lives on in our hearts and trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well If you think about it the cool thing about being an author is that every time one of us picks up his book......he comes alive. For those of you that have not read his book........you are missing out on a some very interesting aspects of these trucks. I can't imagine not having a copy as there is information and insight in it you won't find anywhere else. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I really learned a lot over the years referring back to his book many times. He did all of us a great service through his research. I hope he's at peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_MN Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Don called me up prior to one of the Mopar in the Park event, back when it was at the racetrack. He looked me up and then we toured the show. He was a pretty interesting tour guide although he used the term, I don't remember a lot of detail. The next year Mopars in the park moved to Farmington where it was this year. There were 5 pilothouses that year, and Merle won a big TV in the drawing. Don Bunn came with his son and greated all of us and posed for a few pictures. His son said that this was his last outing and was heading for memory care soon because mom couldn't handle him any more. He will be missed.

Brent B3B Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 What a HUGE contributor to our "hobby"! i more than likely, would have given up without his commitment to our small slice of Dodge. (and this forum..... ) Many thanks Don Bunn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Sullivan Unfortunately I was out wandering, looking at vehicles when he came around and I didn't get a chance to shake his hand. Sure would have liked to have that chance. I do remember you talking about it when I came back to the trucks, Dennis. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampSteer Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I was just on Amazon trying to figure out which of his two books to buy for my '53. He definitely lives on and will continue to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want this one for starters... then fill in your collection with his other ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
