    Unhappy Sadden to post this but we lost our one and only dburdyshaw last month - RIP

    Many of have know Danny over the years with his quirky and fun online presence, I had noticed that I haven't seen or heard much form him in the past few weeks and reached out to him on Facebook to only have no reply. I decided to do a google search this morning as I just had a bad feeling and this is what I found RIP Danny, you were a great man and truly will be missed.

    So sad. He and I had a good "forum friendship." We liked similar cars, specifically low-option, base, or forgotten models. We used to regularly trade messages/info about said models, Fords mostly, but sometimes other makes. I knew he was having health problems, but he never did elaborate. I also hadn't heard much from him over the past few months.

    I think he had a fairly large collection of cars. When someone with a collection dies, I always wonder what will happen to them.

    Very sad. I sure liked his unique taste in cars, mainly because it reflected mine as well.

    Thanks for the update Jeff. Oh man, that totally sucks!! I was thinking of Dburdyshaw the other day, and how he hasn't been around very much this year. Danny was very good-natured, we used to rag on him sometimes about turning down a free '70 Chevelle SS454 b/c it was "the wrong color," (that still makes me laugh!) I remember he was always first to wish people a Happy Birthday which was very nice. I remember even contacting him about a possible lead on his long-lost '80 Mustang, he sure loved that car. RIP

    So sad to hear..
    I had just found out in a facebook community that we were both members of..
    I knew he had frequented this forum, and he will certainly be missed..
    we had chatted a few times on facebooks, we had very similar tastes in cars, Mustangs as well as many other cars, mainly those of the “malaise era”... it was s pleasure to share passion and enthusiasm for cars that most hated and laughed at.. yet we both had an appreciation for.. I will definitely miss him as he was one of few who could understand and have the same appreciation for cars that otherwise weren’t acceptable or desirable... may he Rest In Peace and finally enjoy the pleasure of driving all the cars he dreamed of having.

    Even though it has been a few weeks, I went ahead and wrote a note on his funeral home guest book. Perhaps some of you would like to do the same. Maybe family members will read it and appreciate how widely he was known, and liked.

    Jeff, thanks for researching the news and letting us know.

    Indeed bittersweet, just like his elusive coupe. Rest in Peace Danny. Indeed, he was always the first out of the gate with birthday wishes.

    Such a bummer. And a double whammy as Ed McLaughlin died last week too after a freak accident during one of the Nor-Easters. Saw that on Facebook as well.
