Default Eric White in the hospital - has passed

I'm am sorry to report that PY member Eric White (gtoric) had a massive stroke last night and is in the hospital. I do not know any specifics beyond the fact that his condition is considered serious.

I will keep you all apprised of any changes.

We (the Widetrackers chapter and his friends) appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

While not knowing Eric, we offer prayer for a fellow PY'r in distress. May he rally and recover.

Thanks for the heads-up, Keith.

Prayers on the way for Eric and his family. One of the nicest and most knowledgeable Pontiackers I've ever known!

WOW!!! Please keep the updates coming. Eric is a super great guy and a very under rated historian in the hobby. He really knows his stuff.

Prayers for him.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Eric and his family. Massive and stroke are never two words you want to hear together.

Only had the pleasure of being with Eric a few times. Hoping for a swift recovery and another chance to share his company again.

Keith

If you could let us know what hospital. Would like to send a card.

When he was in MN I got to know him well enough that he actually came to my home in Wisconsin one time to go through a ton of Pontiac literature that I had acquired from my dad.

After he moved to MI, we drove up from the NASCAR race in MI to have dinner with him one night. I think that last visit was about 10 years ago.

One of the classiest Pontiac guys ever!
