    Just wanted to pass along my condolences to the family and friends of Jeremy, aka “Triumphguy69”, here on Fchat, who lived in Ronkonkoma. I keep hoping there was some misunderstanding on my part, but based on the following article posted on newsday.com, there was a tragic accident the other night that took his life.

    According to the article, Jeremy had begun unloading a collector car off a trailer in Stony Brook when the car started to roll down the incline and pinned him.

    Very very sad.

    I did not know Jeremy or his family, and never had a chance to meet him. Where it hits home for me is that I was PM’d by him just the other day, when he introduced himself to me. He was very eager to meet up with our L.I.F.E. group that’s been meeting Sunday’s in Plainview (LI Bagels and Coffee thread).

    We traded brief correspondences. He sent me a second PM the morning of the accident, (which happened Wednesday night.) In just those two messages, I got the feeling like he was a very caring and devoted guy, who loved his family, friends and cars. He was very excited to mention that he was expecting the arrival of his second daughter in just a few weeks. Lately, he had been working at Autosport Designs doing restoration work. A very skilled and multi-talented individual, apparently. Just feeling very empty right now.

    Sorry to hear that even though I didn't know him. What a shame and condolences to his family and friends.

    I remember that Charlie Gibson of Sasco Motorsports, a well known vintage racing tire supplier and active racer himself, died in a similar accident several years ago.

    Very sad news.
    I never met him or corresponded with him but felt compelled to donate to the fund for his family.
    He is expecting a baby in 2 weeks.

    Hey guys,
    This is Jeremy"s friend Steve im April"s Brother i knew Jeremy very well and miss him dearly he was a great guy and a real down to earth person and a real old school soul. That was my house that every one was at there were over 200 people here that day on Saturday just before the funeral. I was so thankful and amazed at how many people that he knew especially in the automotive industry. Im sure Jeremy is thankful too looking down from above at how many people were here to pay their respects and honor him. Im just dealing with alot of Guilt and depression now because i wanted to spend more time with him as a friend and there"s so much i wanted to say to him. I wish i could of been there to stop this terrible tragedy from happening. I wish that darn enclosed car trailer that he unloaded wasn"t parked on a hill because if i was there i would of made sure it was parked on Level ground and i would of made sure that none of this would of ever happened!

    I didn't know Jeremy, but my heartfelt condolences go out to his family. I felt compelled to contribute to the fund as I cannot help their sorrow in any other manner.
    God bless.
