One of our finest has passed away
 
Hi all

Not many of the membership got to know George Braml (LT5-1935) but
the few that did, will never forget him.....

George was a first class car guy with a lovely wife and 2 awesome
kids. I was fortunate to know him and watch him always offer
support / expertise with NO expectation of any reciprocation

Jim Voter and I met him @ a Friday night cruise in 2008 George
asked me to open my hood so he could measure the size of the
motor and see if he could install an LT-5 in his 35 Chevy Both
Jim and myself said, what???? Really????

We talked George into driving a ZR-1 and not long after George
purchased a black 1990 ZR-1. He spared no expense on making
that 1990 one of the best I've ever seen. Paintwork Brakes
Exhaust. You name it, George would make it perfect

George helped any Z brother with parts / tooling / machining
detail work, you name it George would offer to help

Anyone interested in coming to the wake, it will be this Friday. 3 to 5 pm (near perry hall, md). Address and specific info tomorrow

We will meet up right after for drinks / dinner

Regards

David

My heart is truly broken over this news. A Class guy in every sense and was blessed with a beautiful family. I have fully enjoyed his company/freindship every time, be it in Carlisle, BG., Englishtown(raceway park) or MD. God speed my friend.

I have no words, I was stunned when I got the call last night from his wife. George was a true friend who would do anything for anyone, car enthusiast or not. He was a true craftsman with metal work and could do anything. My heart goes out to his wife Elizabeth and his children.
