Announcements
Tonight
I received a series of emails from different Board of directors for POCI
concerning our President Dave Bennett.
Dave Bennett has been the President of our International POCI
organization for the past 4 years.
He grew up in Syracuse knowing Art Wilbur since attending kinder garden
together.
Today Dave fell in his driveway walking his dog - hit his head and went
into the ICU in Minnesota where he lived.
His brain showed no activity and he was removed from life support at 9
P.M. and died tonight in his family's arms.
Dave was a great guy and done so much for our Pontiac club and the
reason I'm on the Board of Directors.
I restored a 1964 Catalina in the mid 1980's for Art Wilbur. It was the
car Dave ordered new from Win Gurney Pontiac.
Art was there when he took delivery of it in 1964 and rode shot gun with
him many nights I'm told.
After Art sold that car and it had been through a couple of additional
owners Dave bought the car and that is what got him involved in the
Pontiac Club.
He has been a wonderful friend to me since we met up at the 1999 POCI
Convention.
Rest In Peace My Dear Friend Your Work Here Is Done.
May you enjoy smooth highways in heaven.
Jim
