Any updates Jose?

Bruce the original owner to my car, passed away peacefully yesterday evening (4/25) in his sleep after enjoying a nice meal. His health the last few months was in severe decline and he was moved to a nursing home where he was provided hospice care. I've been in contact with his family, his two sons in particular who have been keeping me updated on his health.

I'm thankful for Bruce being willing to talk to me and develop a relationship over the last couple years that resulted in critical documents being reunited to the car as well as his testimony regarding the purchase of the car, and the memories he created with it.

It's unfortunate that he will not see the car in the flesh this summer as planned but I'm also glad he is no longer suffering.

Before he was hospitalized he was looking for photos, his racing diary, and the POP. His sons who have been nothing but supportive, have been following the build on facebook and are aware of items that may still be around within the estate.

Rest in peace Bruce Cremean!

Prayers to Bruce's family. The family of one of the prior owners of my old COPO went through a similar path. Owner passed away before he could see the car in person again - just missed the reunion by a few months.
His family was very appreciative of the connection to his old car and we still stay in touch today. I'm guessing your experience will be similar Jose.

Let me know when you plan to make it out to Ohio, would love to see the car!

Bruce's son, Todd Cremean, has been going through the estate and collecting photos of the car. Todd has been very supportive and to say I'm looking forward to receiving the photos in the mail is an understatement. This is when the car was brand new. I noticed the antenna which got me thinking maybe it was a dealer added item as it was not on the w/s or sales paperwork.

Some dealers ordered all ‘stock’ cars with no radio. They upcharged later for radio install.
