Re: [T3] Russ Wolfe



<x-flowed>I haven't written to this list in years, but I really have to say how sad I am to read that Russ has passed away.

Russ helped me countless times with my Type 34, especially with the automatic transmission. I think it's justified to say that no one else had his depth of expertise, or willingness to help clueless newbies like me, on this particular aspect of the Type3.

He will be sorely missed.

RIP.

I always loved how simple Russ made the solution to a problem seem.  His
answers to my long-winded questions were often just one sentence; short and
to the point, making me kind of laugh at myself.  I liked that about him.

I'll miss those answers as well as the stories he had like installing AC
units after hours at the dealer, 2 cars per night, for some sweet cash back
in the day.

I know what he meant to this group and I'm so very sad to hear of his
passing.

My condolences to his family....

With a heavy heart, I have some sad news to pass on. Marilyn (Russ's wife)
asked me to let you ALL know of Russ's passing last night/early this
morning due to complications from cancer. It was found a little too late,
and he
had been in the hospital for an infection when they found it. As of right
now, no memorial  has been set up, but we should hear more later when
things
settle down a little. She has the kids (and grand kids) there to help her thru some of the pain of the loss, and will let us know more when they've
decided something.
Russ, I'll miss you buddy. You've been a friend and a teacher all in one.
