I met AC SR at the Carlisle kitcar import car show in 2001 and he was the very first Fiero owner I ever met. He treated me like a member of his family, even though he didn't know me. Everytime I went to any Fiero related show, he was the one guy that I was looked forward to seeing. He had an infectious attitude that would make you immediatly feel at ease. And the stories he told, oh my, he had some stories that would make you laugh like nobodys business He also had so much knowledge about our cars that could fill 2 or 3 books.. AC was a fixture at many a show from coast to coast and I don't think there could be anyone that didn't know or who wasn't touched by this kind gentle man. I for one will sincerely miss him and his presence at future shows. My heart goes out to the Dobson family -Jason |

Fierodreak00, I couldn't have said it better, you summed AC up well. I met him at that same show. A few years later, at one of the Daytona shows, AC gave me a blue sunshade for my car. Said he'd bought it up north, and because of the color, he knew I'd like it. Every single time I use it, which is almost daily, I've always thought what a great random act of kindness he did for me. I enjoyed him at the Osage Beach show, where we all dressed up in country western. He fit the part with a pair of denim overalls, it was great. My heart goes out to the Dobson family, what an honor it was to have known such a great man.[This message has been edited by CoolBlue87GT (edited 11-10-2017).]

Funny that you mentioned AC at the Osage Beach show. I found a photo.
He brought in some real moonshine from the hills of Kentucky for sampling.

I'm very sorry to hear about AC's passing. My deepest condolences to AC 2 and the rest of his family. Jason was right on with his post I couldn't have said it better. ------------------

RIP, AC
I think I met AC at my 1st Fiero Show (Carlisle Kit Car Show in 2006). I was impressed how friendly he was....he spoke to me like we were old friends which was great since I new to the Fiero world and didn't know anyone. So glad I got to see him again at the 30th.
