Necrology
It strikes me that (unless I've missed it), ClassicOldsmobile does not have any sort of memorial to those of us who have passed on.
Over the past few years, we have lost several members who were all-around great people, and much beloved, or who at least played a prominent role in the site (At least I loved you, Norm), and, short of searching through the threads, all signs of them fade farther away as time passes.
I am going to post some basic information here about those I remember off the top of my head (and beg the forgiveness of all for those I've left out).
If anyone of sufficient stature or access privileges is interested in starting a proper memorial thread, or of adding details that I have left out, please do.

May they all rest in peace.
As I said, additions / corrections welcome and encouraged.

I agree with this..I'm sure all these people will be sorely missed. I feel all our mutual bond is the love for these steel creatures that ties us together as an extended family in some kind of humble way.

We have an "In Memoriam" a Clubhouse sub forum. I moved all the threads I can find of the members listed and if anyone has other please get me the link and I'll move them over. Thanks to IB Jose for his help to make this possible.
