Hello everyone, I am writing to let you know that one of our members and former President Steve Wilson has passed away. Steve’s funeral was on Saturday, May 1st, 2010, at Mt. View Cemetery. Thank you to all who attended Steve's Funeral and all that brought there show cars out. Virginia
REMEMBERING STEVE
WILSON
Steve lost his battle with cancer on Saturday April 24th. He
had endured several operations and treatments, all to no avail. We all can be
comforted to know that he is now pain free and resting peacefully in a better
place.
Some of the very newest members might not even know Steve as the illness
limited his activities with the club for the past several months. Steve
was a fighter though. He was determined to continue to do as much as he could of
the things he enjoyed as long as he could. He attended the ELYELLO FALL RUN and
participated in the Enumclaw Christmas Parade, even though he was in a great
deal of discomfort.
Although there are other members who were closer to Steve than I was, I
still considered him a friend as well as a club member. He was very active in
club events from the day he joined, serving as an officer during my term as
president, then filling the president’s position himself. I know he helped me
a lot during my term, and I felt privileged that he consulted with me during
his. Steve was instrumental in the club project a few years ago to help a sick
member finish his Chevelle restoration. He helped steer the club through the
transition back to a one-day show, giving up hosting the ACES Regional, and
moving to a new venue. I know those were stressful times and he pulled us
through.
I remember Steve as this tall, skinny, with a dry sense of humor, who
always wore a baseball hat. I remember him being a “car guy” through and
through, and as knowledgeable as anyone about them. He had several cars and
always had a project or two to work on. I can remember him as easy-going and
can’t think of a time I saw him mad or unhappy over anything.
The club lost not only a member, but we all lost a good friend. He will
be missed! Rest in peace Steve, we’ll carry on in your remembrance.
Past President
Hello
Everybody.
Our club's past President; Steve Wilson, passed away on
April 24th. A sad Day for the Puget Sound area to lose a great "car
guy"
Thanks to all whom brought their cars and attended his funeral. I met Steve just
a few years ago and we hit it off really good. We always had something to talk
about in common. He was a wealth of information. One evening while talking local
cars/owners, we both knew- going back 30 years and the stories we shared...
(cant name 'em, got to protect the guilty) It was a great time reminiscing with
him, truly amazing that we had not crossed paths before with all the same people
we both knew. Glad to say our paths crossed-it should have been sooner. Thanks
for letting me pester you with questions & ideas. You'll be missed by all.
