    I'm very said to say that we have lost 2 very special Ferrari owners in less than 2 weeks. One of them was only 42 years old and died suddenly. The other was 64 and knew he had limited time left. Yet he was full of life and love. I had the privilege of repairing everyone of his cars within the last 45 days.
    He even had a photoshoot lined up with Sean. Both had become friends over the years and we will miss them deeply.
    Neither of them were on F chat ( to my knowledge )
    RIP Patrick and Charley. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your families and friends.

    We too have lost 2 in the last month. One an older customer from the past, Linwood, and a current local customer, Scott.

    OMG. I had no idea. Make that 3 clients then. I can not believe this. He wanted me to take him to the track to learn how to get more out of his F car.

    So sad.

    We actually have his car in a Happy Birthday video we created last year.

    If I'm correct, this guy has the black 430 and he had greyish hair. I've seem him parked in front of Peninsula Grill before. Sad, from what I understand he had some young children.

    Yes he did. I only met him once. I always picked his car up from his place and took it back when finished. We mainly spoke on the phone.

    My ex-gf was doing personal chef work for him and his family a couple times a week. She always had kind words of him. Leaving behind 4 kids, all under 14, makes it that much worse. Life can be so fragile; make sure to hug your loved ones whenever you get the chance.

    I remember it well. It seems that he enjoyed his things... and treated the people he encountered in his life very well. A life lived well by my account. :)
