Tucker Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Oh'man, this is bad news. I am so sorry. Holy cow! I can't believe it. He would email EVERYONE when he found a new product, TSB, fix, hint or anything. He would call often about parts, questions or to talk about new projects. He will be missed.

ColoradoShelbyGT Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Like so many here, I had the pleasure of meeting LaMonte and Sue at Shelby Fest this last spring. Both of them were warm, generous and kind. LaMonte contacted me as I was driving in from Colorado and told me to make sure I got ahold of him if I needed anything at all. Later, LaMonte invited me to join he and Sue and friends for dinner on Saturday night and really made me feel part of the group. LaMonte had the ability to make you feel like a long-time friend. The ultimate car guy and a great, great person. My heart goes out to Sue and the kids. Everyone who can, please donate to the fund, as its bad enough to lose a father and a husband without having money challenges as well. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 To members that aren't religious - you can still show care for his family with words or donations. I don't go to church, but I care for people who suffer losses. Reach out if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMO-GT500 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 ..without going into all of the details, the funeral home and I have figured out a way that they are ok with accepting credit cards toward the deposit. I was not able to cover the whole amount unfortunately. That/the deposit is the first and most urgent need right now. If you can, please give a call to the funeral home, and take a bit of stress off of LaMonte's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLu Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Call the funeral home directly (Serenity Memorial Chapel at 618.233.6000), and help out if you can. Meanwhile, check this out? A way to help out Lamont's survivors, and remember LSR's participation in our lives. stangmafia.com/forum/f23/lsr-decals-1145/ Okay...I am told that I cannot post this link today. That's okay, 'cause any of you web savy owners will be able to hunt it down. It's missing the "http://www." prefix. Go figure? Please try...Anything at all y'all can do will be important here. If I can get LuLu back in time, I'll be in Bellville, IL. for Lamont's services. Think not about who we lost. Think about who we enjoyed. Y'all be safe. Mac.

KCMO-GT500 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I think you need to have a log in script of some sort. I think your pc probably has a record of your site log in information in a "cookie" so you do have the need to log in each time. However, we cannot access the site without logging in.

jared@lethal Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 As I read through this thread and got the the post about Lamonte passing away I had tears in my eyes and had that burning feeling inside. I've never met Lamonte but have only see him post. It's amazing how one can touch another persons life like that. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Lamonte's family and friends. I know he's in a better place right now and won't have to suffer from pain any longer. I'll be headed to Sema next Tuesday. The last time I was there Carol Shelby was signing autographs at the Ford booth. Hopefully he'll be attending again. If so I'm going to bring a few things for him to sign and I'll list them on Ebay when we I get back. All of the proceeds of the auctions will be donated to Lamonte's FBO account to benefit his wife and children.. Mickey, Thanks for keeping us up to date with Lamonte's condition. You are a good friend indeed and I'm sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off The bank is GSC Federal Credit Union the address is 3970 Maryville RD Granite City IL. 62040-9931 Checks can be sent there but must have in the payee line FBO Lamonte Morris Second anyone can go directly too any GCS credit union and give them his Name Lamonte Morris and they can take the donation that way. account number not needed. Third is you can make a check out to myself Mickey Holmes and put on the memo FBO LaMonte Morriss and send too Mickey Holmes 2216 Lynch Ave Granite City IL. 62040 I will take care of all the tax things for Sue and kids and keep all paper work for anyone who wants to personally audit the account. The only people who have access to the account is Myself and Sue I will leave this account open for as long as they need it and donation come in. They all will greatly be appreciated and needed for awhile. Thanks In Advance Mickey and the Morriss Family, I tried to set up visa donations and they said it was like a cash advance and they cannot do it because of regulations and their are a ton of them. So let the donations begin. Please cut and paste this info and post on all other sites you belong too, some I just don't have acccounts with yet so it would be easier. Bumping for a good cause.
