    Tony Gerace Porsche Mastercraftsman has Passed.

    It is with a heavy heart that I write this.......

    Tony Gerace, Husband, Father, friend has passed. He was a business owner and enthusiast, who represented the very best of this hobby.

    He has left too early.

    I built my 69S with Tony. He shared my enthusiasm, he shared my passion. It was Tony when the project bogged down in rust proposed John Esposito, then a small start-up shop working out of a storage locker. They were a great collaboration. Through the project, I developed an appreciation for Tony's skills, direction and leadership. Yet it was his wisdom (Tony had a full life) and warmth that made me realize this was more than a build, it ended as a life lesson. Tony made me part of an experience, through it I learned of Porsches, Tony, as well as a bit more of myself. He allowed for vulnerability without exploiting it. He taught trust. When visiting LA, he invited me to stay in his home with Lois and Marco. Lois made me sweet rolls for breakfast. Conversation was about life and family. Impactful moments, I will never lose the appreciation for......


    Yes, I am saddened......I didn't get to say goodbye....
