Local Muscle Car guy died yesterday...

[Red97GTP]

His name was Jim. He had a SC'd 2000 Firebird Formula. He lived in West Allis, and hung out around there also. He died yesterday at Devil's Lake. He was rock climbing with his son and one of his son's friends. He was the last one down, and he slipped on a rock and started tumbling down the hill. He broke his neck and died almost instantly. I know a couple of members here know who he is. I used to work with him at the dealership. I just ask that you keep him and his family in your prayers. WE'LL MISS YOU JIM!!!:headbang

Wow that really sucks, was the car dark blue and an automatic he had? If so i had raced him this time last year, never got to talk to him though.

Oh man! I knew Jim and worked with him at Frascona Buick when it was still open. He was good friend of mine and def. the life of a party. Anybody know about funeral arrangements yet?:crying

[84hurst]

can we make this a sticky??? We should set up a fund for his family.

[Red97GTP]

Don't know yet about the funeral arrangements. As soon as I hear, I'll post. And yes, he did work at Frascona Buick a couple years back.

I didn't know the guy but no one should have to die that young. And his poor son had to watch it happen.

The same Jim with a NBM Formula? That is sad, I think he lived just off of hwy 100 behind the strip mall that BW3 is in. Cool guy. RIP
