    To A True Brother

    In memory of my brother in law George Manduke Jr. 8/65 - 4/08 who at the age 42, became the 5th member of his family to succumb to "Lou Gehrig's" disease.

    George was an honorable young man who only ever seen the best in others. I credit him for helping me realize life is short and indeed precious.

    With the constant memory of his ornery smile and true friendship, I gladly build this car for his sister. I would give anything to share it with him.

    Albeit, he would constantly pester me with his dry wittyness and incessant pranks. I miss him everyday.

    God bless America where we have the ability to own and restore these fine old cars and share our stories with like minded individuals.


    Miss Ya Bro,

    Randy

    Man that's a tough one Lazlo. I feel the pain. The good memories are what keeps us going. I hope his memory serves you as well.
