Hello Everyone,
Sad to say but we’re a man down here on the FordBarn. My father, Henry Horrocks, who posted as henryat1140, has passed away. He had cancer in more than one place. Thankfully the ending wasn’t painful or drawn out.
Dad and I have shared the awesome fun of owning a ’36 Phaeton for the last few years, a car that I'm planning on keeping. We were fortunate to travel together to four V8 Club National Meets, two FordBarn events, four years of Hershey, and hours of having fun tinkering with the car. Our most recent project was doing part of the work involved with putting on a new top. I've driven the car three times this past week on Interstate and two-lane's, and I’m so pleased with the way it runs I’m afraid to think about it too much for fear of jinxing things. I just re-read our log of the things we've worked on and it really reminds me of how much fun and good father/son time we enjoyed because of our Ford.
I could go on, but I won't.
I just wanted to let his friends know, he didn't suffer a long time, and his family was with him.
One last thing, if you have someone you care about, let them know! If you are holding a grudge, get over it. All of us are only here temporarily.

His Avatar, I talked him into taking off the fog lamps, and I regret it. Sold them in ten seconds. Undrepriced! Ugh.
