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 |

Not sure what to say, George was a great family man with unbelievable talent, and a passion for cars. God Bless George!

Re: One of our finest has passed away
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.

Re: One of our finest has passed away
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.
Rich
