    I don't know...

    ...how to say this, but I'll try. On Tues. of this week a friend died of a heart attack, he was only 53, and always seemed in good health. Jim, took a stolen recovery Blue MM, and rebuilt it to factory specs, then took a 99 GM, and completely converted it to a black MM, and then this July he bought a DTR stolen recovery, and in two months restored it to pristine condition, truly a one of a kind man. Jim always treated everyone as though they were life long friends, he always made me feel important, just talking with him, although I only knew him for a short time, I'm proud to say he is my friend.

    My deep sympathy. It's heartbreaking to lose such a new found friend. He has so much talent. Our Marauder world will mourn his passing I'm sure.

    Regards,

    I'm sorry for your loss.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11
    Rex Weinbender
    Peter

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Truly shocked and saddened to hear the news about Jim. He and his loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers. Not sure if he was a member, but I first met him at possibly MV3, or the next year at the Burger King on Woodward with his 99 MM clone.

    Is this Barb's husband??? She goes by "BAJA" on this site. If so, they were at MV III because I remember the '99 MM Clone with the beige interior. They have been at Carlisle for the past 2 years with the Blue MM.

    The sudden death of someone like Jim is truely one of life's most difficult trials....and we are rarely prepared to cope. May the knowledge that others are keeping him and his loved ones and friends, in their thoughts and prayers, help to ease the loss. His friendship clearly enriched your life and the lives of others who knew him. That is the true measure of a life successfully lived.
