    I remember this thread fondly, it ran for so long, and he was so pleased with his birthday present. Happy he got to enjoy the car but how sad it couldn't be for longer. Au revoir.

    a real shame from his post sounds like he was a real nice person (never met him)with a very positive spirit .... and 62 is so young ...

    Repose en paix mon ami!

    Denis was a nice guy and working hard. Last time I met him was last summer at Raduno Montebello with his nice 456. A real fanatic he will be missed.

    Very sad, he gave me some insight before I bought my 456.
    Truly a great man, always amazed of his car and motorcycle collections.
    He will be missed,
    RIP

    I hope now you are not suffering anymore.
    If you see my wife "upstairs", do not talk to her about 456. She never really liked it.

    Currently I am reading Brian Redman's book about racing sports/racing cars in the late 60s/early70s. Is anybody else doing the same?

    If you love fast cars.
    If you love life.
    It could be the best book you will ever read?

    Why do I compare our friend Denis with a 1960's racing driver?
    The love of life.
    The love of beauty.

    It's manifestation in an Italian car?
    Of course !
    Via con Dios, Amigo.

    I was wondering the last months how he is doing.
    Today I saw this shocking tread. I always read his thread about his 456.

    Having recently treated myself to a 456M for my 50th, I had followed Denis's post. Very sad to hear of his passing. Sorry I never got to meet him.

    This piece of news has really saddened my day.

    A great guy and a true Ferrari enthusiast. It was a pleasure to have him around, learn from him and read his posts.

    Call me naive, but I always thought/hoped he would overcome his health issues. Maybe I just didn't want to consider any other outcome.

    Denis, you'll be sorely missed. Rest in peace. All thoughts and prayers to the family.

    Kindest regards,

    Nuno.
