DAVE RUSSELL

 

On Thursday, December 11, Dave Russell passed away following a long battle with cancer.  Our thoughts and prayers are for Marlene and family.

Thinking back to early this year, Dave told me he knew the 2008 Summer Tour was to be his last, and his condition had advanced to the point driving the Healey wasn't comfortable, so they still came along, but it was in the Toyota Avalon.  We were happy he was there, no matter what he drove.

Late July was probably the last trip he took with the Healey, and a few of us went to Crouch for breakfast, then continued on to Lowman and Idaho City.  When we got up from the breakfast table and asked who wanted to drive on to Lowman, Dave didn't think about it too long.  Lynn Gardner, Paul and Linda Mascuch, Dave and I went on a great ride.....little did we know it was Dave's last.  Every drive with Dave was a great one.

We miss ya.....

Passing of a Great One.

Dear Dave,

Know that we will miss you, your droll sense of humor had us in stitches all the time.  I will always remember your willingness to help us out and the wisdom of your advice,  I wonder how many of us knew that you were an international Austin Healey expert.  The next time when I tune my SU's I know that you will be looking over my shoulder, and probably muttering something under your breath.  Thank you for your friendship, I'm sorry you had to go so soon but I hope the roads are clear and twisty where you're at, and the sun is always over your shoulder.

Godspeed my friend.
