We lost another member of the community

Hi Guys, You don't really know me yet, cuz I'm a newb. I moved to Oklahoma a few months ago from Wyoming - hence, my WyoSyclone name. I bought my Syclone in November and have only had it since being here in Oklahoma.

Well, I just found out that our FEDX driver back in Sheridan, Wyoming was a Syclone owner (he never talked about it), and that he also just lost his life. His name was Ron Etchemendy and one of my workers thought that he may have hung out here on the sight from time to time. He got caught in a blizzard at the Montana/Wyoming border and they found him at the left rear tire of his truck, which was stuck down off the highway. We don't know if it was a heart attack or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know just in case they knew Ron or had conversed with him here on the forums. He was a great guy, 44 years old, wife and daughter, and just loved cars (The Sy, a 68 Z28 Camaro, a Harley, and a powder blue 55 Chev - all immaculate). Just like David, he was always smiling, laughed a lot, and just loved life.

No need to do anything other than say a prayer, and let him know he's in our thoughts. If you did know Ron and want to get in touch with the family but don't know how, just let me know.

Sorry to hear this :( Reading about the deaths in here lately has motivated me to start doing things I've put off because life is indeed short.

In light of this latest sad story, and the post above, I share with you all a story that literally changed my life 10 years ago. It was published in the L.A. Times, but I did a google search and found it at this URL (with which I have nothing to do with).

The timing is good to read it, learn it, live it.
