Favorite Uncle Died

[crispins]

Dude was a bad ass, taught me to sail.

I used to spend the summers at his lake house up in Maine.

He was pretty much an old school gangster kind of guy.

Always drove a Cadillac, always with a dealer tag on it even though he did not have a car dealership.

Was into the crazy expensive powerboats, last one I saw was twin supercharged 600 ci inboards.

Anyway dude was 80, would not stop driving even though his close family was begging him not to.

Went off the road and flipped his car yesterday, dead on scene.

I worry about this shit. I am a stubbern bastard. I can see telling everyone to fuck off that I am fine to drive.

My Grandfather, before he died, also would not stop driving.

He took off one day to go to the store around the corner from his house, was found 2 days later 100's of miles away out of gas and very confused.

Shit is scary.

I don't know, these last few years I have been feeling my age and shit just is kind of got me worrying.

Regardless of what is stated here you will do your own thing

RIP to your Uncle, lived a fullfilled life. Went the way he lived.

Sorry for your loss he sounds like a top G

But also not fair for anyone else on the road if someone is a danger. Going through this now with my 96 year old grandfather. It’s not fun

I'm the same way, yikes. Sorry for your loss, RIP

 

[crispins]

Here are some pics of him

That sucks but sounds like he lived a helluva life and probably went out like he would've wanted to.

Lived fast, died fast, remembered well.
Good job at life!

 

[Motorcharge]

Eh, he died how he wanted to live, much better than some people get. I'll take that over my family forcing me into some shitty old retirement home.

 

[KarlVP]

Sorry for your loss. Just from that one pic you can tell he lived life to the fullest. Celebrate the good times.

 

[USMC Gunny]

Live life how you want to. If you don't hurt anyone else but yourself who cares.

Your uncle was that guy. Look like he lived his life.

RIP

 

[crispins]

He lived life to the fullest, he really did.

 

[crispins]

I remember when I was a kid, like 14 or so and I asked him what he did for work, what he said I have always remembered but never really understood until way later.

He told me he was into 'information'

He said information was everything and the more you had the better you were.

Giving up driving is very very hard. That's freedom you're giving up. Don't know if I'll be able too without being forced.

Go have a on the water for him.

80s a decent run.
Sorry for your loss.
At least he isn't miserable in a home.

 

[Thumping]

My favorite uncle died Saturday morning

My favorite uncle blew thru a stop sign at 65 mph. Killed himself and the kid that he plowed into. He also should have stopped driving. Sorry for your loss.

He sounds like my mob grandfather. Mine did own a MOPAR dealership so he and my dad, always used dealer plates. My dad only so he could drive the new Challengers off the lot.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your uncle looks like a cool af guy to sit and chat with. Biggest of hugs to you.

Dibs on your uncle's stuff, too soon?

Sorry for your loss. It took my grandma totaling her car before we got her to stop driving. Luckily, no one was hurt in the crash.

Sorry for your loss.

Just lost a friend this year that went 120 into a group of trees. It really sucks but going out fairly quick while having fun in a car wouldnt be that bad of a way to go. Especially if your 80 and lived a full life.

 

[ANGRYBLACK]

God Speed To your Uncle Brother! May he be welcomed into the Kingdom of the Gods with Rest, Peace, and his eternal life continue rocking as it did while with us here.

 

[Pony_Driver]

Sorry for your loss, but he sounds like a boss who went out with his boots on.

 

[Gregj50!!!!!]

RIP Uncle.
