Memorial for Brian von KleinSmid

A place to recall & share all the good times

Too much to post here…

There is so much to say about Brian. He was an amazing person with a huge personality and a wry sense of humor. Recently, when my family moved, he offered to help us. And he did. He always reached out and helped those he loved. And we all love him for it.

He never doubted my love of cars and wanted to share what he was doing with Frankenpinto. He even told me he would let me drive it once the new clutch was in. Unfortunately, that never happened. This Christmas he got a few people a Hot Wheels car. He gave me a Chevelle, the same year as my first car. He remembered. It’s a small thing, but it was a special thing to me.

Many know of the famous (or infamous) egg in fan incident – when Brian confronted those kids and stood over them, I thought they would piss their pants! But he never would have harmed a hair on their heads. His presence was huge. Not just physically, but in an intangible way.

I could go on and on. Before I wrap this up, I have to mention the very best part of Brian – his UNDYING love for his family. That is all.

    You will get to drive that car. We got the new transmission and clutch installed (and it needs to come out again for an overhaul).

    You can make more than one post; I have a long list that will keep growing that I will be posting.
