Holy crap... that's terrable. Yes, this is a loss to the BMW community, but even more so on a personal note.

Peter was a good man, all BMW-guruness aside. He spoke to me on several occations, on the phone and in person, was very freindly, and even remembered my name (big deal to me). He seemed like a real stand-up guy all over. RIP Pete.

My thoughts and preyers are with the McHenry family

[DCColegrove]

Pete was (is) an "all around good guy".

It is very sad, like I said in another thread about this, the "old guard" in the BMW community is passing.

And I am sorry to say your all left with the dopes like us in our 40s to carry on.

Wishing Stuart and the rest of his loved ones the best in a difficult time.

Holy shit - that is very tragic news!!! I can understand what Stu is going through right now.....I've lost a parent the exact same way. Its like getting smacked blind-sided out of nowhere and you sense a huge loss overwhelming you. All I can say at this point is I will keep Stu and his whole family in my thoughts. They are no doubt going through a very difficult time.

And the whole BMW community has lost a legendary figure. RIP Pete McHenry :(

Stu, My thoughts are with you and your family. I recall talking to your dad to sort a few things out, truly an enthusiast, a good guy and a great father.

I remember the first time I met Peter in person

I was installing a battery for a customer (at Adavance Auto), and some old man drove up in a CLEAN white e30 m3 (it was Billy Revis' car). He strolled over, looked at what I was doing, and made some funny comment. I asked about the e30 m3, we chatted about my e30, and his stroker m42 project. ext time I saw him, he knew my name off hand. Really impressed me.

Stuart, this sucks man. I havn't lost my father, so I can only imagine how you feel. I'll be in touch.

I'm very saddened to hear that pete has passed. I worked in his shop on a few occasions with alex & stu when we were in high school together, he was always very friendly and helpful, even though my projects were always vw's back then. My condolences to the McHenery family.

oh wow. the BMW community has lost one of its best.

The best of the best. he'll truly be missed

Andy

[Nicademus]

This explains why he wasn't here. Wasn't there just a thread about him not sending out some items or something? Click here I think he should be left alone for a bit.


Really sad stuff :(

Condolences to Stu Mc and the rest of the family.

[Apex381]

Ahhh crap this sucks. I never met the man personally but saw him at a few Korman open houses. The few times I hung out with Stu he told some really great stories about him. My condolences to Stu and his family.

[NC325iC]

i never had the chance to meet him myself but my dad and grandfather both knew him and they both think very highly of him, as everyone seems to. It is a big loss for the bmw community and my thoughts are with his family.

[Jonathan M3]

My condolences, Stu. Your father definitely left his mark as a highly revered name in the bmw community.
