Dan passed on the 23rd. He was a long time member of the E.F.V8 C. and the clubs advisor for 1939-41 Mercury as well as Columbia two speeds . Dan also rebuilt Columbia rear axle assemblies. He was a friend to many, including myself, and will be very much missed. God Bless!

God Bless the man.

He has always been one of my favorite people. My wife and i did some long distance touring with Dan and his wife Bonnie. Dan was a great resource and dear friend. Another big hole in my heart for a terrific guy.

Wow, I knew Dan well and he was a really good guy. Another V-8 wealth of knowledge has passed on to V-8 Heaven. Prayers to his family.

Dan was a great resource and very knowledgeable. He took a sincere interest in my project, as I'm sure he did for others. He will be missed by all who knew him....nevertheless he is at home with the Lord. (2 Cor. 5:8)

Old Redneck · 05-30-2022, 10:38 AM

He help me with my 39 Columbia. Good friend. He was not that old. WOW. What a nice guy.WE will always remember him.

Sad hear about Dan, wealth of Early Ford V8 and Columbia Two Speed Axle knowledge. Always very active in the Early Ford V8 Club of America, will be sorely missed. Prayers for Dan and his family.

I hate to hear this! Dan was a special guy with a wealth of knowledge - especially about Columbia two-speed rear ends.. Dan judged my '53 up at the EFV8 Western National Meet in Tacoma, WA. back in '06 - got me an award. He will be sorely missed...

Didn't know him and he didn't help me. Sad to see these smart good guys go. Like its slipping away. My condolences.

Dan was a gentleman. He gave me a generator core that I needed for Ed Whitney to convert to an alternator that I could take home in my carry on luggage. Had some interesting looks as it passed through the scanner at the airport. Dan freely shared his early Ford knowledge and will be missed. Ted

PeterC · 06-02-2022, 07:17 AM

A truly fine human being - wonderful guy. He built my 2-speed Columbia a while back. I traveled from the East coast to Temecula and spent a day with him - got a tour of his cars and parts barn, he shared many stories with me, met his lovely wife and we all had dinner at a local restaurant. He will be greatly missed by all.I was privileged to know Dan.

I hope this post is not inappropriate for the Ford Barn. Just an FYI that Dan’s 39 Tudor is listed on the Early Ford V-8 Club’s classified section. I’m helping Dan’s wife sell this car and the hope is it goes to a good V-8er. If you knew Dan, you know how he maintained his cars, “as Henry Built it”. If you know someone looking for a good one, please let them know. Thanks

Old Redneck · 07-01-2022, 02:34 PM

Dan gave me a pin Columbia on it. It is Special to me. I will tell you a story. Im bought some Columbia Parts from him and when they came also a bill. I sent him a check that day. Two weeks later Dan call me and ask me if I sent a check. I said yes, Another two weeks later I call Dan and no check. So I sent another check and Dan got it. Bill Paid. 6 months later Dan gets the first check in the mail. Dan called me and we both had a laugh about it. Dan sent me a Columbia Pin in the mail.I always wonder where that check was?

Lawson Cox · 07-01-2022, 05:39 PM

I didn't know Dan but was well aware of just who he was. He will be missed in the hobby. RIP
