Roger Barrett Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 My father Roger passed away last week at 85. He owned his roadster since 1952 and began restoring it in about 1960. He bought his BCA membership from Greg F. At the Long Beach swap meet at the very beginning. We got his car finished up last year. Many of you may have seen it in Oklahoma. It was the trip of a lifetime for him and he couldn’t be more proud of seeing his car at a BCA show. Special thanks go to Cindy Livingston and Pete Phillips for all they did to make this special for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) We enjoyed touring with you and your dad on the Columbia Gorge Prewar Div. After Tour. I am sure he was at peace knowing that you will carry on with that beautiful Buick. Edited March 3, 2020 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Same reflection as Mark. We enjoyed the friendship of you and your father while on that tour. It was an honor to speak with him again at the Oklahoma meet and share the stories of him and the Buick. Our deepest Sympathies: Larry DiBarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Barrett Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thank you everyone. Having his car there was awesome for him. This afternoon his grandson drove the car with myself in the co pilot seat and we picked dad up at the funeral home. We got him in a box that fit perfectly in the golf bag door and took him home with a stop at the local pub we frequented while he lived. He would have expected no less. When they realized who was there the veterans stood and honored him as we placed him on the bar and hoisted one in his memory. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
