OWNER OF CAMARO PARTS NETWORK PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY

[Mr. Chevy]

Received word this morning that the owner of Camaro Parts Network passed away suddenly. His shop was located in Berea, Ohio which is a suburb of Cleveland. He was not a personal friend of mine and I only had a few dealings with him for some parts but I thought I would pass the information along in case some of you Camaro Guys knew him.

RIP....

Each year Jim held a Open house/Camaro show.....In my opinion one of the best one day Camaro only shows around.He always got a ton of first gens to show up.More quality first gens then found at other heavily promoted regional shows ....RIP Jim......

Mike, I don't think he was much over 50, if that, I know he has a girl in college,I think he had another younger child also. He recently spoke to me about all the hassles with having a business, thats why he downsized the parts sales. He was selling on P-pay much more recently. No obituary in the PD yet, will post if I find out more. Craig

I just tried to call about a week ago and no answer. He was a real good guy.

[Mr. Chevy]

Mike, I was guessing that he was in his late 40s or around 50 years of age. I don't know what happened to him, how he died.. Last time I saw him was last June. I stopped in his place and was looking for headlight bezels and he handed me his flier for his annual car show that was in August. It was always a Camaro show but he opened it up this past year to all makes and models.. I didn't get to go but I heard it was packed and a very nice show.. He was a nice guy..
