Death of a fellow FAQer

I just wanted to let those that have bought, sold and chatted with Daniel "Mark" Andrews....that he passed last week from an unknown cause.

His knowledge and laughter will be missed!

R.I.P. Mark!

Although I haven't personally talked to Daniel, its always sad to lose a fellow 02'er and a friend of friends. May he rest in peace and condolences go out to his family and friends.

Oh no! This is terrible news. I just saw him last month. He said he was on a medical leave from work but he looked great to me. I met his son and his son's 2002.

Mark was a great guy. We've exchanged a bunch of parts together between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

My heart goes out to his family.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I just bought a part from him less than a month ago. After the fact he emailed to tell me that his estimate for shipping was a little off and that he had refunded the difference. Classy guy.

I never met or had the chance to chat with Daniel. Nevertheless, I feel that as a community, we are all lessened by his passing.

Condolences to Daniel's family, friends, and those who knew him through this forum.

A Memorial Drive, while a GREAT idea, is something that few of us are able to participate in due to our proximity to Nor Cal.

Yet, I think it would be nice to do something in rememberance of Daniel. Might I suggest a 15 minute moratorium on posting to this site to coincide with the date/start of the Memorial Drive ??

Perhaps the organizers of the drive can keep us informed and we can start another thread with the details.

Show of hands ??

Cheers!

I know Mark was in the process of fixing up a late 2002 for his son. It may be too soon but perhaps somebody might want to leave a note on his son's 02 offering to lend a hand with the car. He lives in the sunset district of SF.

Or, and i hope this isn't in bad taste, if you guys go for a memorial drive, maybe you want to put Mark's house on your route. It might be warming to see a caravan of 2002's honk their horns as they drive by the house.

Unfortunately, me and my 02 lives 500 miles away so i can't help out too much with any of this.

Now that is a great idea.
