One of our finest has passed away

[ZZZZZR1]

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.

I had a pleasure of knowing George since 2009. A great guy, a great friend. At a loss for words...

I have no words, George was a first class guy.
My heart cries for Elizabeth and the kids.

That's horrible news. I've met George and his wife a few times since I found the WAZOO group, and he always struck me as a great guy.

I'm a few thousand miles away, or I'd be at the wake.

GodSpeed to George and family.

[KILLSHOTS]

So sorry to hear of this loss; George sounds like a true gentleman. I did not know him but I offer my condolences to all who did.

RIP, George.

All,

We’ve recently suffered the loss of three of our dear ZR-1 Net Registry members since October. With the passing of Phil DeJohn, we are grateful for the efforts of Dave “Mom” Bright to ensure Phil was remembered with a ZR-1 brick at the National Corvette Museum. With the passing of Tony Watson and George Braml within the last few weeks, the ZR-1 Net Registry will ensure that both members are appropriately remembered on behalf of the ZR-1 Net Registry family.

As such, we have created a venue for members to contribute for each of our departed. We have set up our web store to accept donations in increments of $5 in order for us to reach our goal of $150 for each ZR-1 memorial brick. Additionally, we’ve provided a link to both Tony and George’s obituary, which allows members to view the requests of the family and donate as they see fit.

The link to the “In Memoriam” section of our web store is: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/Marketplace/RegistryStore/tabid/235/rvdsfcatid/in-memoriam-36/Default.aspx
We as a community are very saddened by such a great loss, and very much appreciate your donation in support of these great friends and ZR-1 enthusiasts.

With heavy heart,
Mark

George was as fine a guy as you could ever hope to meet. A generous person always willing to share his time and talents with the brotherhood. My sympathies go out his wife Elizabeth and their two children. I will truly miss him.

Although I did not have the opportunity to meet any of the 3 deceased members mentioned here, offering my prayers for them, (that they RIP), and their families to have the strength to get through these unfortunate times.
