We Would Like To Pass Along Our
Kindest, Heartfelt, Sympathy To The Family Of Our Fallen Member Bobby
Garcia. He Was A Dedicated Member Of The Palmetto State Ford Club And
Will Be Deeply Missed. He Touched Us All With His Spirit. God Bless... |
|
I imagine that most of you have heard about Bobby Garcia by now but for those that have not, I'm sorry to tell you on this website. It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you this, he passed away Tuesday, June 17th. To the best of my knowledge, his death was caused by insect venom. This venom caused severe damage to his heart, respiratory system, kidneys, liver and brain. Bobby quickly became non-responsive and fell into a coma. He passed away shortly after we found out he had no brain activity.
Bobby was loved by many of us and I can say, without a doubt, that no future car event will feel the same without him. He supported all of us in the car community by attending our events time and time again. No one could miss that yellow corvette of his when it pulled up - a lot of love went into that car! We loved seeing his Knight Rider car, especially when he'd turn it on for us ... who doesn't love K.I.T.T. right? The recent unveiling of his Smoky and the Bandit car was very cool as well.
He was the ultimate jokester, always ready to make you laugh. He was a wonderful friend, always there when you needed a helping hand. He was a loyal car enthusiast, spending most of his free time attending car events and helping to raise money for charities. He was a beloved brother to David, a husband to wife Brina and friend to us.
Here is information concerning his funeral arrangements:
His viewing will be this Friday night from 6pm-8pm at J Henry Stuhrs Northwoods Chapel.
The address is 2180 Greenridge Rd, North Charleston, 29406.
The phone number is (843)-723-2524.
His funeral will be this Saturday at 10am at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Goose Creek.
The address is 510 Saint James Ave, Goose Creek, 29445.
The phone number is (843) 553-1386.
Immediately following the funeral there will be a police escort to the Carolina Memorial Gardens in North Charleston.
The address is 7113 Rivers Ave, Charleston, 29406.
The phone number is (843) 553-2228.
Bobby was a member of my club. We always joked with him because he joined even though he didn't have a Ford. What a wonderful sense of humor he had! Regardless of this fact, he was an incredible, loyal member. He is our first fallen member and we are devastated by his death. Our PSFC family will be meeting next week to discuss an event to be done in his honor.
As you can imagine, his family is absolutely overwhelmed right now. Several of us are helping them by getting the word out. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at skarlet2005@yahoo.com. Also, please spread the word to those that you know would want to attend his viewing/funeral services. I would much rather someone be told a couple of times by different people than to be missed.
Please keep Bobby and his family in your prayers,
Christine Henson

Movie Quote Of The Month: From "The BreakfastClub" 1985 |
 |
Brian
Johnson: Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to
sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did
wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we
think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms,
in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each
one of us is a brain...
Andrew Clark:
...and an athlete...
Allison Reynolds:
...and a basket case...
Claire Standish:
...a princess...
John Bender:
...and a criminal...
Brian Johnson:
Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

On the evening of June 18, 2007
the city of Charleston was shaken to its core when nine of their
finest firemen were killed while serving and protecting our
community. In the wake of this devastating news, six local car clubs
have to come together and found a way to celebrate the lives and
honor the memories of these nine fallen hero's. We are hosting a
cruise-in on Sunday July 22nd from 3pm-6pm at the Tanger Outlet near
the new fire museum. This cruise-in is open to all. All donations
collected throughout the event will be given to the City of
Charleston Firemen's Fund. Please use the link below to get more

Many thanks to all help in this
totally amazing event. It was a total team effort by everyone

We Were Rained On But
Still Had A Great Time. McAlister's Deli Of North Charleston & The Palmetto
State Ford Club Had The 2nd Cruise In Of The Year. It was held April 5th From
5:00pm - 8:00pm. |
 |
Well The bad weather was no help this month, But even
with the heavy rain & thunderstorms we still had 60 plus people attend
our cruise in. A good time was still had by all. The trivia was a blast,
Well done everyone. The PSFC's monthly Cruise In's are held as rain or
shine events, Because we are able to have it inside or outside. So next
month if it looks like rain you can still come, just drive your family
or beater car. We had and excellent time inside the restaurant.
Our Cruise In's are free and are just about hanging out and
socializing. Not to mention the great food and hospitality of the store
manager Ben and his excellent staff at McAlister's Deli at Tanger Outlet
Mall. I would also like to recognize the continued support of our
friends with Khaotik Illusions, Low Country Mustang Club, The Coastal
Carolina Corvette Club and even Matt & Tim from SMAF attended as well.
We hope to see everyone next month with much better weather.
Thanks Everyone for your support, Kevin Felty
