I saw Fred days before his passing,Should have stopped by, I'm right down the road from him.. :D
Kim, Right on!
I just matched it personally...
Who else?
I don't know if you all noticed, I know some don't go to the home page all the time, but Scott put a donation button to help pay for the cost of Fred's memorial and other expenses.
I just donated $100.00. Who is going to match it?? :D
I havent been on in a while, I check every so often. look at the site today and i see this. Fred was an absolutely Amazing man. Him and joy brought the 78 we bought down to us instead of going up there to get it. Very kind man. Fred will be missed by all here that have met or talked to him. Ill keep tabs to find out when his service is.
Also, I have a thread open in the Admin boards to settle on a amount to Donate from the Club...
ALL,
This is in response to an email from Joy- the email was longer and more personal but I wanted to make sure everyone was in the loop on these points made about our community... I am honored with the response from everyone in this time of need for one of our family.

Joy,
Good to hear from you, I hope you are doing better as each day unfolds.
Fred was a unique individual in the Pinto Community, if not the best person for what was needed. We have had several step up to the plate to try and be a parts vendors in the 12 Years the PCCA has been in existence. Fred was by far the best example the community could have asked for. He not only helped countless individuals with their projects or repairs, he actually cared. Everyone was always commenting about Fred’s honesty, professionalis m, turnaround time and his overall technical assistance. He was a pillar in our little community.
No one will be able to fill his shoes…
As you can see, the Pinto community needs to heal as well. The Memorial fund is not only to help you in this time of need but it serves a different purpose for everyone. It gives us an outlet to do something for you and Fred directly, from each individual. Although we know there is no way to fix this situation, the fund allows us to join together as a family and provide for you which in turn helps everyone to heal in their own way. Please accept the funds as an emotional outpouring of our need for healing and especially the need to contact you directly and let you know we care.
Joy- please consider the PCCA has an extension of your family, you most definitely are our family.
