Gary kadrmas (kccorral2075) Has Passed On
I wasn't sure where to post this so forgive me if this is the wrong place.

Long time GT40s.com member Gary Kadrmas died Monday morning from a long fight with stomach cancer. I spoke with him just a couple weeks ago and he seemed to be on the mend but things turned against him last week and he couldn't pull through.

Many of you know Gary through the forum and know him to be a gracious, friendly guy who would do anything for you. He loved 40's and was working on selling his original CSX2075 Cobra to buy one. He will be greatly missed and the world is lesser place for the loss.

I'll provide more detail about memorials and such as I get it.

I just received this from Gary's family:

The services are Thursday, 5/8 at 11:00 at Mt Scott Funeral Home in Portland. He will have a gravesite service on Friday, 5/9 in Springfield. He wanted to be buried in the same cemetary as his parents and brother. We have suggested donations to the American Cancer Society.

Re: Gary kadrmas (kccorral2075) Has Passed On
Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts. Gary greatly enjoyed this site and spent many hours "surfing" when he was too ill to drive his long time favorite cobra or be in his shop working on something automotive. It is very heartwarming to know he had so many friends in so many locations. Vicki (his wife).

Re: Gary kadrmas (kccorral2075) Has Passed On
I remember about a year ago we had a telephone conversation that went till the wee hours .... all about his exploits with his Cobra and his dream of a GT40.

He always gave me lots of good advice.

He will be missed here.

What a shock.I thought Gary was doing so well. It's so sad and unfair at the same time. I so enjoyed Gary's upbeat correspondences over the years.I only wish I would have met him.

Rest in peace Gary...

I am saddened to hear of Gary's passing. My condolences to the family. He had sent me some pictures of himself and the Cobra, as well as the cool restaurant he had frequented with the B17 on top - and the complete story of how it got there too! Sorry to hear about Gary....

Vicki and family,

I was so sorry to learn that Gary has passed away. Garys’ light-hearted way of connecting with his GT40 family will be sorely missed.

With hearfelt sympathy,

Tim
