Thanks for the info. Yes, LaRue was a great guy...I know many of the old-timers here will miss him.

We are currently in Florida. If the funeral is around the time we are heading north, we will make a calling to show our respect.
 
I was just going to put up a post.



Very sad to hear. May he Rest In Peace and prayers

To his entire family. He was a great supporter of this site and the

The Louisville meets. He will be missed greatly.

A couple months ago I was looking to see when he last posted and it had been quite some time. LaRue set me up with some keys when I bought my Sport Trac and gave me some advice when I was getting ready to take a locksmith course. He was always very polite and very helpful. My sincere condolences go out to Rose and the rest of his family. He was a truly great human being!!
 
So sorry to hear this. He had one of the nicest Gen 1 Tracs I've ever seen.

Sad to hear. Very helpful guy and a fellow US Air Force retiree. Terrible to happen at Christmas. My grandfather died on Dec 25th and for many years it was a sad holiday.
