Rest in peace Ron Christian. https://www.dennisonfuneral...RMhwAYt1p7c7dw37LdJg

Ron was a character that many of us got the opportunity to know in Facebook communities and in person these past few years. I am not sure if he had a presence here.

I read a few weeks ago, on one of the Farcebook Fiero groups, that Ed Parks - former owner of the Fiero Factory - passed away a couple of months ago.
I believe that Rosy is still in Alabama.

There were no details provided, and I haven't heard anything else.

One of the legends of the industry. RIP.

If anyone has any contact with Rosy, please send our regards.

I met Ed in Florida and several times in NJ and Al and found him to be a nice guy. When he visited NJ to add to his vast collection he even drove my Turbo GT. We lost touch when he sold the Fiero Factory and retired supposedly to an RV on the lake somewhere. I am sorry to hear that he has left us. I would guess that he was in his late seventies

And again...
I just discovered that Francis Truglio (creator of the Trueleo intakes and headers) passed in September of 2020.
I was FB friends with him and happened to stumble across his page, yesterday. Posted by his son.

The motor and harness in my current ride came out of an Ed Parks car.

Francis Truglio's intakes and headers were a welcome addition to the Fiero community back when they were developed and released. It's therefore surprising, and rather a shame, that it took two full years for any of us to learn of his passing. Raydar, thanks for letting us know.

Could you forward or provide a link to the facebook page. I last saw Francis in 2018 and he was struggling with multiple health issues. He had to step away from Fiero related projects because of the blood thinners he was on. He had just published a novel and had also built a number of RC large scale battleships. He was a true gentleman and one of the most creative individuals I've ever met.

Here it is.
https://www.facebook.com/francis.truglio

Not any real additional info, since Tracy's (his daughter?) announcement.
==================================

Edit - Okay... I found myself clicking on the thread heading, since it was "highlighted" in the topic list.
Of course, once I did that, I had to scroll through the thread again. There's an amazing number of people who have gone before us. Makes me appreciate just how fragile life can be.
(It also made me realize how crummy FB can be, at providing "current" info, regarding people you may want to hear from, or keep up with.
If you're on FB, check in with your friends from time to time.)

Y'all stay healthy, and stay safe.
Peace.

Thank you. A couple of pictures of his turbo 2.8 that he was very proud of.
