    Lost a good one

    I'm sure many of you know, or have met, Jeff Trask. Past President of the 356 Registry, the 912 Registry and all around great guy.
    Jeff passed away last evening after a long fight with pancreatic cancer. I'll miss our road trips out to Texas for the HCR. Won't be the same.
    There is a Go Fund Me set up to help his family out with the monumental medical bills.

    Very sad, I was just talking with him a month ago about a car he had and sounded normal and upbeat.

    I'd only met Jeff by phone a few years ago as I was looking for an unrestored Convertible D... wonderful, upbeat, helpful... he told me had some bad health news a year or so ago but I thought he'd beat it. So sad.

    He clearly loved what he did -- a great message to us all.

    So sorry to hear this bad news. I met him at HCR, he could really sling that 912!
    He was also a really nice guy and an entertaining master of ceremonies.
    Condolences to his family and friends.

    How long did he last? I have very personal reason to ask.

    A true gentleman, who treated everyone like a close friend, even if it was the first time you’d met. A huge loss for the Porsche community! We know you’ll be watching us drive the winding roads Jeff! Heart-felt condolences to Jeff’s family.
