[Fot] Jack Drews Died This Afternoon at Grattan

[MARK J WEATHERS]

Everybody has their favorite story about Uncle Jack, particularly how he helped fellow FOT'ers. My favorite though is how he helped a guy he did not even know. Some fellow with a TR6 was on a road trip and his front upright failed. Somehow he got ahold of Jack out of the phone book. Although Jack did not know him from Adam , he called me (we were working on the spindle stiffener project at the time) and I overnighted him the one off of my car that we were using for the mockup. Of course the guy fixed his car and drove off, never to return the upright, and of course Jack found one and replaced mine. He was the most stand up guy your could ever want to work with and woudl do anything to help anybody.
 
Tony, I am so sorry for your loss but take comfort that he went out doing what he loved to do, we should all be so lucky.
