My name is Gregory Peters, you guys have know my dad for many years and have come to him for advice and for parts. He has passed away this morning at 7:50am. I was there by his side when he passed. As you know he loved fiero's and collected parts for a long time. If it wasn't for him, I would have never had my lil red 85 gt that he built from the frame up. I know its not what it look like when he brought it to me 17 yrs ago, but I am going to try and get it back to the condition that he brought it to me in. I thank you guys in advance for all condolences. I will keep his partfiero name on the forum and post from time to time, but feel free to write him messages on there or to his email, partfiero@comcast.com.
Again, thanks for all your guys years of questions and discussions.
I am also real sorry to hear of your father's passing. My most sincere condolences to you and to your entire family. I had always hoped to meet your father, .
Wow, it will be tough for a bit but, there is one obvious thing, he left behind something of value, his son. Be glad for the time you did have him, we were lucky to get to know our Dads into our adulthood. I still reached for my phone 3 years later wanting to call him, it sucked but, then I just remembered our talks and pulled some of the advice out of that.
thank you so much everyone foe the help we provided him in his last days. I had just spoke with Ken a few weeks ago, and he was VERY grateful for all the generosity that was shown here.
Sorry for your loss, losing a dad can be one of the worst losses a man can have.
If this is any comfort, he will never really be gone as long as you remember him.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
Ken and I chatted on the phone before I headed off to China last summer. Some of the things he said really helped me out along the way. If it weren't for him I'd have gotten in even more trouble than I ended up getting in.
He was a good man. He cracked me up. We were talking on the phone, and I was looking for some tips on where to stay, and he goes "Well, are you looking for a place where there will be girls waiting for you downstairs or do you want a cheaper place?" Haha.
Man, my heart hurts. I'm sorry Gregory. If you're the son who married a Chinese woman, he spoke of you fondly and he spoke of you often. I hope you are all doing okay through this. Damn.

Thank you for the notification, and I echo others' sentiments. I know that things will never be the same, but I hope you and your family are able to grieve and heal to the extent possible in time.
