Re: {Chrysler 300} Gary Goers

[Dyke Ridgley <ridgleyracing65@xxxxxxxxx>]

So sorry to hear about Gary. No doubt he had a large positive effect on our cars and hobby. It means even more to me now, in that he personally restored our 300C Convertible when he worked full time for Richard Carpenter in the late 70s-early 80s. I did not know he worked for Carpenter until we acquired the car and started to review the mountain of paper work (including all his timesheets). Gary actually found our car in Los Angeles for Richard and convinced him to by it. All during this time, Gary was just beginning to ramp up his reproduction parts business out of his home in Pico Rivera. Gary and Richard parted ways in the early 1980s and he moved to the Northwest to continue his parts business.

Bob. Thanks for sending this along.  Very sad news today.  I struggle to think of anyone who has had more of a positive impact on our club and community. His attention to detail was superb and he was one of the most hard working and honest people I've encountered in the hobby.  

I wish his family the best and offer my deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.  

Kind regards,

John Lyons

Hello,

I wanted to pass along the news that my father, Gary Goers, passed away this morning. He had a stroke yesterday. Massive blood clot in the brain they could not operate on, and almost completely paralyzed. He was taken off life support early this morning. He was 79.
I know my dad meant a lot to those who restored Chrysler 300s. I’m not sure if he was part of this group on FB, but figure many people in here probably dealt with him.

If you have any questions Iet me know. I will pass on funeral information when we get things in order.

Thanks for your time.
Scott
