A sad day for the Model T Ford owners

Post by FATMAN » Fri Nov 20, 2020 4:10 pm

It saddens me to let you know that our machinist of over 40 plus years has passed away a few minutes ago. Glenn Larson, tool and die maker and one of the best. About five weeks ago he came down with a fever which turned out to be pneumonia, after going to the doctor he got the test and was told he had Covid, he has been on a ventilator for three weeks and never came out of it, a lot of you are running your cars with parts he made right here in our shop. our prayers go out to his kids, Bob

Bob,
And our prayers in the Model T community go out Glenn and his family. We all appreciate what your company has done for our hobby for the past many decades. I am very sorry to hear about his passing.

So sorry to hear of his passing. We have lost several friends to covid. Serious stuff and I hope we can all stay safe long enough for the vaccines to be distributed.

Another old car "great" joins those who have gone on before, and leaves the rest of us a little sadder. Worse that it's yet another Covid tradgedy.

RIP Glenn, you will be missed by many. :( :cry:

Losing someone like this is always very sad, and should never be taken lightly. Condolences to all his family and those that were fortunate enough to know him personally.

I did not know Glenn Larson, but having lost one of my brothers to Covid, I do know how his friends, family, and colleagues feel. My condolences to all.
