oh my, so sad to hear.
Handee was a real joy to know, and a very funny guy. Some of us knew he was very sick but it still hurts to face it.
Tom, I've got to share a joke he was planning on you.....
About 2+ years ago, when I posted the pic of all my hotwheels/ VX models on a wooden log, there was a silver one that had a wheel come off.....and "crashed" falling off the log. We said that was Gussie's VX.
Handee (Mike) had a really fun idea, he contacted me and wanted one of my Proton 1:43 VX, AND the loose wheel/tire from the silver one. So I got those shipped off to him......anybody see where this is going???
He planned on gluing the wheel/tire to the back door of the Proton and sending it to Tom......
Sadly, he got too sick to do it, but as I think back on that, I find he can still make me smile and laugh!
Rest peacefully my friend and keep 'em laffin' up there!
