IML: Terry Cowan passing

[Brooks Harkey <vm.dude@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It saddens me to announce the passing of Terry Cowan, also of the 
Metalshapers group.  He died suddenly this past Saturday of an apparent 
massive heart attack at the young age of only 55 (today would have been 
his 56th birthday).  There's a Yahoo! group and he also had done 
www.metalshapers.org organizing a bunch of restorers, airplane parts 
makers, etc. into a group to share ideas, tricks, and techniques for 
shaping metal for patch panels, new parts, and everything else 
imaginable.  He and the group had been mentioned in many magazines, and 
Terry was a member of the IML group as well.  Last time I was at his 
shop, there were several hemis sitting around (tho I do not know what 
they had come out of).

Terry was a wonderful man who I had spoken with, exchanged many e-mails, 
and spent the day with a couple of times at his shop.  I was really 
looking forward to his helping me as I continue with my '63 Crown 
convertible.  He was a kid at heart, an instant friend to all who met 
him, a fine guy devoted to solving many of the problems we face as we 
maintain and restore our Imperials. 

I knew that anyone who might not know this would want to know.  As far 
as memorials go, Terry had a special request for his remains and his 
wife is asking for help on this from his local drag racing buddies (I 
don't know what the request was, I just know that much).  The family 
wants to wait until after Christmas to have a service.

Anyway -- if you knew Terry Cowan or knew of Terry Cowan...... I knew 
you would want to know about this.
