A Veteran passed today! - Lateral-g Forums

It is with a heavy heart that I start this thread but seeing as how I am not a member of any other social media I thought I might remember my brother David Avery a US Navy Veteran and fellow hotrodder, David passed this morning in his sleep.

My brother was a generous man who would help anyone in need and then fix their car! He was a loyal blue oval guy and sadly he left his 32 roadster project unfinished. He was telling me a couple weeks ago that he just got his heads back for the 289 and he was so proud of them. His chassis just got detailed and painted and would be mated to the pearl white body (w/ blue flames) .... he was proud of that too.

I can remember his first apt, he had his recently built 351 Cleveland in his living room .... that was the center of attention/ coffee table and mom teased him for his interior decorating style! He put that engine in a 72 Maverick and raced it locally and had a blast with that primed car, it's still sitting in his backyard ... he was proud of that car too.

Fair winds and following seas David .... I will miss teasing you about your Fords.

Michael

Wow! Sorry to hear of your loss.... No words can give comfort. I know this from personal experience.

Your post painted a great picture of a great guy for those of us that never were fortunate enough to have crossed his path.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Condolences.

Be strong, keep moving forward and enjoy your time on earth; that is the best way to honor him.

Every time a gremlin pops up in that Camaro, it's probably him screwing with you.
