Sandy

I miss him.

I thought I would share a pm he sent me as a way to continue something fresh from him.

Sandy.......

I will give you the advise, as I would, if you were my son.

The car sales business was not good to me. In my area, NJ/NY it's a whored up business, run by low-lifes. I was fired & hired all the time. No security, no future. I was lucky. My folks were both attorneys. When they passed away, I became comfortable, financially speaking. I have held onto what I inheirited. I did indulge into 2 McLarens, but little else.

Think about your future. R-U married? Your wife & future offspring. They cannot exist on a car salesmans income. (Marry a wealthy girl).

I told our son to be an accountant. He listened. Today, he's a CPA, earning $54,000 @ year. He's 23. Now, he's going to go back to college & get a Law Degree, and combine the two CPA/LLB. He works hard. I worked hard too, as I am sure you do, but only the dealership owner makes any real monry & has time off when he wants it.

Thank about it.

Regarding the McLaren. I don't know where you are, but you can come see it, when I get better.
I swear to you it's brand spankin new. None better in the world.
I will try & send pic to you

Are you still selling cars?

I miss sandy terribly. I think about him every time I look at my car. We were pen pals. I have quoted sandy from one of our PMs. I wish I still had them all to read but the board only saves two pages of my inbox. I got a tear in my eyes reading through them. I used to tell him he was like my internet dad. Hey I was only 17 when we started talking. He game me a lot of life advice growing up. In this pm he says I have his respect and he had mine. I got to visit his grave about 3 weeks after he passed. I was not able to make it for the funeral all the way from Detroit. I have never called Karen or Matt out of respect for them but I have always wanted them to know how much sandy meant to me and how much he did for me growing up. I stopped at the main office of the cemetery and told them I was looking for the grave of a friend. My pen pal that I never got to meet.

I hope what I wrote makes sense to you guys. Sometimes I have a real hard time putting my words on paper... Er or computer because of my dyslexia. This would be the disability that Sandy is referring to in his pm.

That's my Peter !!! Way 2 Go!

I am sure that your parents are very very proud of you. I am just an across the miles pen pal of sorts...and I am proud of you. You did not let you disability get the best of you. You have this old man's respect !

tulips (sandy typed sh*t here but the board changed it), Pete, I am now 62 ! I do not look it and my friends kid me about what kinda hair coloring I use - but.....I don't use any ~! I also have no facial wrinkles, so I look like around 44.

How is your hand, these days ??? Does it still hurt you ?

I miss Sandy. I'm sorry I never got to meet him in person, but glad that I was able to have chats on the phone and on the message boards. And we're all here to help each other too.
