Post by: jon016847 on November 24, 2005, 10:41 AM: It was only recently that Sandy had mentioned he was felling better. I am not sure if it is related, but he had a really bad case of flu recently and it took him a month before he was getting over it.

Sandy has been a great help to me since I have known him, and he will be a loss to the community for sure, My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Respect to Sandy Finkleman, Wheels and Things, Diamond back !
