never had the pleasure of knowing him, but I sure wish I would have - sounds like he was a pretty cool guy! Sure had the right idea of what hot rods are for! RIP Don.

A small reunion within a reunion . . .

Pals from the 2000 Hot Rods and Haute Cruisine Tour -- River1, Aisle7, and OFOF at the CHRR last year.

You are sorely missed and fondly remembered, Don. RIP.

Don was one of the first hot rodders I met in the US. We were in Vegas during part of our three month honeymoon and had gone into town to check out what was going on. Noticed a bunch of hot rods parked and had to go check it out.

Headed straight to this REALLY nice black '34 coupe. I asked a bunch of guys if any of them owned it, and some big guy with a white moustache calls out: "You must be Brootal!" Smile

The next day a bunch of us caught up at Carl's place and then headed out for breakfast and the Fuel & Gas Finals. It was an absolute highlight of my honeymoon (except for the 'other' stuff). Smile

I had heard that Don was unwell and tried to send a couple of PMs, but never got replies and didn't see him around here much.

RIP, mate. You'll be missed by a lot of people. Sad

I met Don in 2004 when Neil and visited the US and am very saddened to hear of his passing. Don was a gentleman and great hotrodder and will be greatly missed.

That's really to bad. I met Don in B'Ville 03. He seemed quite the character with a life of the party personality. That's really to bad...................Frank

Don Palfreyman - Such A Great Loss!

There is something wonderful missing in our lives and it hurts! Don was the friendliest, happiest and most caring of all the street rodders we have met. We loved to just sit with him at a cruise night, car show or on a long trip and just talk - about anything! The most impressive thing about Don was that there was never a car or project about which he didn't have something good to say. Even if it was the most outlandish project you had ever seen, he would still find something positive to say about it or its builder. Don never gave on that he might think less of anyone.

Don's Good Guys news articles that he wrote were the first thing we read in the Mountain West Street News. They were always entertaining. He had the best sense of humor! Not many folks can put things in words and still make you laugh like he did.

Whenever you saw Don it was not enough to shake hands or just say"Hi". A hug was mandatory. A great big bear hug for all the gals and a good ol' pat on the back for the guys! We will miss those hugs. We will miss Don. But, we will always be grateful for the wonderful memories!

Luv ya', Don. And as we always said when we parted, "Keep on Cruisin!"

Steve & Carolyn
