Default Re: Dennis Hartweg

I still remember Dennis' excitement over that Gibb car he had just bought from Jude Hettick. I believe it was his first Gibb car at the time. It was at the Nova Nationals in Indianapolis. He parked right next to me, and we followed each other to the Indy track to take a lap. We had lunch at the hotel. Really enjoyed his stories about the Gibbs', his father and the dealership, and mostly his cars. I know he had interest in buying the old Gibb dealership and making it a museum. Would have loved to see that. I hope one of you "Gibb people" pick up where Dennis left off, and pursue at least some of his dreams. I hope something is done to commemorate Dennis at the LaHarpe delivery on March 2nd of the 8 2002 ZL-1 cars. Perhaps a sticker of some sort would be appropriate. I can't think of anyone who had more of a passion for the Gibb cars and history. As far as living for today, I decided that about 20 years ago when my father in law died at 50. Was a year away from retirement. Doesn't seem fair. I could give a sh-- less about a savings plan. I figure if I live long enough to use a retirement plan, that in itself is good enough for me. I am leaving my kids bills, and maybe a couple of cars! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Rest in peace Dennis, we will miss you.
