Very sad day.

Things were looking great. It was time to do the front brakes on the wife's SUV.
Things are going great. I am doing them at a place called Body Crafters because
that is where my race mechanic has moved his shop to. So I meet all the employees
of the shop. I very good painter named Nick walks over and says "Terry(the race mechanic)
tells me you have Steeda prepped Mystic Cobra." I said "yesiree." Nick says "did you
run it up at Road America a lot?" I confirmed that. So Nick asks me did you go to
liquor store in the city on Teutonia Ave." I said "sure did." The owner of the store
was his dad and is a Cobra freak also. His father and I got along very well even
showed our cars at a few shows. I also knew his little brother. So I ask how the
store and his dad is doing. He says we sold it. I asked why. Well when dad died we did not
want to run it anymore. Whoa backup your dad (Dave) died? Nick tells me two years
ago a robbery happened and they shot and killed his dad. I lost it right there
on the spot. Dave was a great guy. Anybody would be proud to have his friendship.
I could not figure out why he stopped calling when we moved and why he was missing the shows.
Now I know. To make things worse they never caught the fuckers that killed him.
Say a prayer for Dave.
