I'm really gonna miss him. He's the only guy I know who you could tell him the year and model for a part and he'd recite the part number from memory....anytime... for almost every part on my cars.
I love that I could call him up, say "Hi, it's XXXXX. Can I get four XXXX for my 84 300D? No rush on shipping." And he'd just go "yep, it's on it's way".
Even when neighborhood kids started stealing my huge boxes of parts he cut me a break and sold me replacement parts for 50% off.
I never actually met him, but such a nice guy.
