Default padgett RIP

To everyone here hes simply known as "Padgett".
Hes been a dear friend for almost 40 years to Glenn and myself.
Glenn will chime in later,but right now we are still numb over this.
This community has suffered a great loss in his passing.
For me its just like losing a family member.
Glenn and I will add more later, after the numbness wears off.
I hope that with all the recent RIPs he doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Sorry to hear another fellow Pontiac enthusiast has passed , certainly a lot lately. He’ll be in my thoughts and prayers
I think he was on yenko.net also if I’m not mistaken someone should probably post there too if that is the case .

Condolences. Prayers sent. RIP. The creator had a plan when he created us and put us with family and friends, he has a plan now. Mary had faith throughout the torment and suffering then came the final victory.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your good friend. I first 'knew' Padgett from the AACA forum. I always enjoyed reading whatever he posted. He was a bit quirky but that was his style.

I was surprised and shocked when I saw this thread this morning. When I first joined the forum a few years ago Padgett was a frequent poster that I grew to trust based on his knowledgeable post. RIP

He was a good friend to me as long as I knew him. He was a brilliant man.
