goodbye to an old friend RIP
I am sorry to share that, "OLD JEEP" a good friend of the Forum and a personal friend of mine passed away yesterday after a long hard fought battle with cancer. He will be dearly missed. <<RIP>>

Thank You for letting us know. I found his comments well thought out. I wondered where he was.
In heaven! |
So sorry to hear. Less and less of us around. Makes me sad.

Wow, that is sad news. :(
I remember Old Jeep was heavily involved in helping his fellow 789 OLDCO Dealers and as I recall he had his own website with resources dedicated to helping the OLDCO dealers. I wonder how many of the 789 will sadly just die off before they ever see any form of justice for what was taken away from them? |

To answer your question, I doubt any justice will ever come about. Shortly it will be a decade since that fateful day. Most have forgotten about it unless you were directly effected. I have heard that there have been a few depositions of some involved, no details and I understand that, but this has just moved to slow. |

I agree that the legal process for the OLDCO Dealers has moved too slow - it brings to mind the old adage "Justice delayed is justice denied." While I never met Old Jeep I got the impression he was a hard working entrepreneur who garnered a large portion of his identity from his business. I'm guessing that he didn't just own a Jeep Dealership, it largely defined who he was and when it was taken away because Chrysler failed as a company and had to go bankrupt it must have been difficult to comprehend. Concerning the short attention spans of the American consumer, I wonder if that's unique to our Western culture or whether other societies throughout the world have the same trait? |
Wow, another gone. The old ones are slowly going away, still with no justice coming.

His jeep store was the oldest franchise in the country. Bo was a stand up guy
