the world has lost a true "car" guy, he had no interest in being a badge whore...RIP

As I've said on other forums, RIP, and a sad loss to the car community.

However, now his employees can actually have vacation time and see their families. He treated them all like shit. The stress from being such an angry man, and holding grudges with everyone (including Chip Foose) ultimately took its toll on him.

I never watched the show, so I'm not gonna say bs that doesn't mean anything, but a death is a death nonetheless. Rest in peace.

I don't believe they've officially released the cause. I have read somewhere it saying liver failure.

There was another nasty rumor floating around another forum, but I won't repeat it. It's pretty sick, and I don't believe it.
