Atlanta benz tech need your thoughts/prayers

One of the techs at RBM, Rob Rainey needs your thoughts and prayers.

His wife and daughter were involved in a head on collision with a dump truck, which killed his daughter and severely injured his wife who is in critical condition.

Rob is a great guy and has been a suspension specialist for many ,many years at RBM.
He's an avid gear head and races a realy cool Camaro.

The type of guy that would always stop what he was doing and help out another tech without question.

Please keep his family in your thoughts.

Helping out...

The depth of loss for the technician is tragic indeed.
Is there a way we could all sign a condolence e-card?
As long as he knows others are thinking of him it might help to ease his pain...

Thanks for asking.

I talked to the service manager Debbie Peek today.
They will start a collection for his family soon and I will keep you posted as I find out any information.
RBM's # is 770-390-0600.
Thanks,

John.

That is terrible. RBM is where the previous owner of my 300D bought it brand new back in 83. The loss of his daughter is truly tragic and hopefully him and his wife have a full and speedy recovery.

I don't think he was in the vehicle.

Last I heard , his wife did not have life threatening injuries..thank God.
