Please be careful out there everyone

My God. Truely aweful. I never met him but he had a good presense (spelling) on here. He came across as a really nice nice, top guy. My thoughts go to his family and friends:(

 

R.I.P. Lew:(

R.I.P. Lew. Never met or spoke to him, but so sad to hear this. Condolences to his friends and family

[AndyT]

Horrible tragedy. First Darren now Lew. My sympathy and condolences to his family, girlfriend and friends.

Flicking through his posts, it's obvious he was a very likeable guy and earned respect here. Rest in peace mate.

[Dragonlady]

This is so sad, RIP. Our condolences to his friends and family

[hoff]

I think maybe we should do another rev off at JAE this year as a mark of respect. That would be 2 in 2 years though:(

When the dust has settled with the terrible events of Lewis accident it may be worth asking if his family would like flowers or a donation to a charity from us.

Just saw this. I did not know him, but it makes me sad anyway. For him, his family, and all the friends he's left behind, I am truly sorry. Too young and too tragic.

 

Please be careful in your Supras.

Just saw this after responding to a pm he sent me which seems really insensitive now....terrible news....thoughts with his family and friends.

[Trig]

Shocking to read this

 

RIP Lew

[Peter P]

Never met him but have read many a post which made me smile

 

Truly a tragic event and thoughts go out to all his family and friends at this difficult time.

 

You'll be deeply missed.

It maybe to early to be sending his family anything, but would it be possible to set up something on here were members can make donations that someone can maybe hand over at the funeral. Its just a thought but it would be a really nice jesture to show his family how much he was liked on here.

He was obviously got on well with lots of people on here and this has touched the hearts of many people on here so i am confident we can raise a good some of money for the family.

Im just thinking his family would really appreciate it at this very very hard time for them even if we just get some flowers for the funeral or something.

For some time now, I have been thinking about organising a Summer Cruise style meet and posting details in the NE events forum.

 

This would typically consist of a few initial meeting points in the morning followed by a day up the Northumberland Coast stopping off at some nice pre-arranged spots for photo opportunities etc. (Alnmouth, Seahouses etc)

 

Don't want to clog this thread up with specifics or details, but was now wondering if this could be a good idea/opportunity to do something in memory of Lewis from our Club's perspective??? Could even turn it into an annual event if all goes well.

 

I am certain Lewis would have been up for this kind of thing.

 

What do you guys think?

[dannysupratt]

Great idea mate, i will certainly be up for this as long as i have my supra back, dont care how far i have to drive.

[Stevo]

Will try and work out a few more details tonight and then post in the events forum with a link to it in this thread perhaps.

[dannysupratt]

Yeah go for it mate, nice one

[Pot]

Blimey, terrible news, my condolences go to his friends and family...

[Tom S]

Stevo,

 

think there is one each year, was for Karl I seem to remember.

 

There would be many wanting to come and not just Supra owners, Lew was well known in the Jap North East club

[marc_p]

Nice idea stevo

[Andyhannah]

Terrible news, RIP fella, my thoughts are with his family and friends:(

[Stevo]

Any suggestions where to take it from here then Tom?

 

I'm unsure of the logistics of organising anything massive that would include the whole Jap NE lot.

 

Just thought it would be fitting as a more of a tribute from us given he was such an active participant on this forum. Would be kind of nice to 'keep it in the club' as it where? Was thinking that doing it like this would also help us appreciate how we all pull together on here.

 

Without being over the top - a celebration of the cars, the people and the spirit that binds us together; a fitting tribute to a young enthusiast loved and lost, but not forgotten.

 

Will pay a visit to the Jap North East site, see if they've got anything planned...

[Stevo]

Forgot to mention, I passed 'the tree' this morning on the A167 - totally welled up immediately

Very very sad news. RIP Lew you will be sorely missed by so many
