I guess we knew this was coming.

Thanks for posting, Michael.  I was just about to do the same.

For several years, I"ve been meaning to stop by to see him, but there was no sense of urgency until a year or so ago, at which time that option had already been precluded.

I hadn't realized that GFC and fierosails started the same year.

I have had great dealings with him over the years, before I knew who he actually was.

Fierosails was located just a few miles from the club's current meeting place.  When I was down there picking up a TCC Switch for a car that GTXVette and I worked on, I tried to locate the business.  They are on the Center Way, but I absolutely couldn't find it.  The only address I had was from the Charter, but it seems that address didn't exist.  Fierosails was apparently something he ran as a sideline from within another business because there was no signage on the business park marquee or on any of the storefronts.

I believe so, yes.  There were several people involved, but I don't know their roles.

A sad day in Fiero land. I have what may be the last custom Fiero sails Paul made -- the ones that say "XD4" on my yellow car. He also made the "Fiero XD4" decal on the back, and the decals on my wheel centers.

I figured you all knew where each other lived.  You could always ask him.

What will happen to the content on his site?  Will it fall into the void?
