OWNER OF CAMARO PARTS NETWORK PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
 
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....



SADLY THE FOUNDER OF

CAMARO PARTS NETWORK AND PRO AUTO SPECIALTIES,

JIM WEHE, PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY.

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.

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..
