Too soon.
But I'd have to say that he didn't appear to have wasted any of the time that he had. What's that they say about the bright stars having the short spans? He sure left behind some solid, good-looking proof that he was here, didn't he? Be well, Java

Hard to believe. He appeared to be in good shape, and 63's too young to die anyway.
Say what you will about Boyd, he figured out a way to make money doing what he loved, and ultimately isn't that everybody's goal? |

No more Chezooms. Bummer. Think what he could have done with a stewie (especially with the back end, eh Java?)

No doubt!! Very surprising. This is a HUGE loss to the automotive industry as a whole. He will be missed.

From what I've seen from his showings he seemed to be a gentleman getting from A to B. Respected for what he did and how he did it.
He will be missed by many..........................63 is way to young. |
