I feel your pain for losing your darling wife at such a young age. My wife died in 2004 also at a young age leaving me and our two boys far too early. I guess that this only proves that life is not always what we want it to be. I have since remarried and luckily have found another nice girl and all that I can say is that life goes on.

Wow,

That is really sad news about Don.

Don and i had exchanged numerous emails over the years, that began in 2004 when his son was selling an AWESOME Red fiero, 88 GT with a fresh and blueprinted engine.







The son (Phillip ?) apparently had several nice car projects and toys.

At any rate i think the son ended up giving it to his son, (Don's grandson). I believe Don also had a fiero himself and i invited him and the grandson to several events, but something always seemed to be going on to prevent it.

At any rate i would keep checking back every 6 months or so to see if the car was for sale again, but the kid was apparently in love with the car and was just getting his license ?

He was a very cool guy. R.I.P Don.

Tony

Hi Tony good to hear from you. I am in the Tampabay area. My son got a new
car a and I don't know what they are planning with the Fiero. will let you
know. I am going to sell my 86 as I just can't keep it up like I should
(getting old) It could be no better than if it just rolled off the assembly
line . It is perfect as I have maintained everything on it . I have driven
it 1.5 mile in a year. It needs to be driven more. There is no way you can
get a better one than it. I will not take less than $4,000 for it .
Everything on it works and I have maintained it for the last 12 years. 86 SE
V-6 auto , sun roof and interior is perfect very nice seats perfect. This
car is same as new, I hate to sell it and only going to offer it on the
Pennock forum. 78,000 miles. Hope you are doing good and maybe will get to
meet you someday. Take care
Don

As I am younger here, and been on 'younger' forums, I can only hope as time goes on that this forum retains its closeness and continues to grow with such great members.

I just wanted to note we lost one of the founders of the Cleveland FIero's. I am sad to say Bruce Bender has past away after a on going illness.

Bruce did not post here much but he read this often as he always knew what was going on.

He and his wife were the driving force that really help get things done with the club during my time as president. I held the title and ran the meetings but they did most of the work. Bruce has many Fiero's and all were in either new or near new condition and all top national show winners.

I don't know if he and his wife understand how many people now are life long friends now and were brought to gether by the club that never would have met. Even some that have sold their Fieros are still friends I still have.

The day Bruce and Gary founded the Cleveland club it was to promote the Fiero but also was more a social group vs an all business club. That is something many clubs need to should strive for as it makes a much more enjoyable group.

Our thoughts and prayers are for his wife Melenie and his family.

Bruce has left his mark on the Fiero and all the members. I will never forget him when I read any of the news letters or when we all get together at Norwalk at the Pontiac meet.

Yes Bruce and Melanie were why I became president and really worked the background allot. Bruce's funeral was a sight to see since he was also in the Chevelle club. The procession was Chevelles and Fieros and drew allot of attention. Bruce is the one with the hat on next to his wife Melanie. Bruce was only 57 years old, God rest his sole.
