    I am stunned. What a great man he was, and what passion he had for his Ferraris, he simply cannot be replaced, but I am sure he is already driving his new Ferrari somewhere up there. RIP coach. I was lucky I got to meet you.

    What a sad day! For anyone who ever had the pleasure to meet Coach I, you know what a great man he really was! He was a great family man and a true lover of Ferraris... He will be greatly missed and my prayers go out to his family and friends!

    Heaven's getting a great man!!!

    R.I.P. Coach I...

    It appears he was doing something he enjoyed when the time came. We should all be so fortunate.

    RIP Coach.

    Much too sudden and tragic. :( He was a world-class gentleman. Thanks for all your kindness and generosity, Coach. Josh Montgomery

    Sam,

    I am so sorry that this is the way we have met. I knew your brother through the Ferrari community and his life and his lessons and his friendship will forever be a crowning point in my life. He was a very loving man and helped me with his comedy and his generosity in good times and in bad.

    I only wish that I had the time to spend more of it with him than I did. I have a few of the cigars he sent to me while in Iraq still in my humidor. I have marked them for special occasions and the next one should be used when my nephew is born with in the next few days. That and a good drive in the f348 are the best ways I can think of to honor and remember your brother. That, and to live my life to the fullest which, in my opinion, was his ultimate lesson to us all.

    I am sorry, but due to surgery I have recently had I will not be able to make his memorial service on Wed. But I know we in the local Ferrari group will have our own ceremony with in the next few weeks.

    Again all of my wishes to you and your family for strength during this trying time of loss and heartbreak. I know your brother is in good hands and likely watching us all... and likely still yelling at me to quit shifting gears too soon!... from above.

    All my best,

    Jonathan Rogers, United States Marine Corps.

    Hi Sam. I remember speaking to your brother a little more than a year ago, after he had suffered a loss in the family. He told me to live
    life to the fullest, because tomorrow was not promissed. Ibrahim certainly followed his own advice! God bless you and the entire family.
