Default **Corvette Forum Member "Cruzzin" has passed...**

Corvette Forum member, Rod Williams, from Kansas City, Kansas passed away yesterday afternoon. Rod was know to us as "Cruzzin" at the Forum.

Details of his passing are not known currently. KCCA, the Kansas City Corvette Club, sent out an e-mail to all it's members late last night. Rod was a member of KCCA for many years.

Rod was known for being a part of the "Outlaw" group of Corvette owners here in KC, as well as on the Forum, and was responsible for the 2008 design of the outlaw sticker, which Rod printed and gave freely to many.

Rod owned an 2001 Torch Red coupe which saw its share of modifications, many of which he very proud of. Rod was a Vietnam Veteran.


God Speed Rod...we love you, and thanks for being a good friend...

Sad news. Rod was one of my buddies in the local Corvette community. I'll miss hanging out with him at Outlaw and especially his sense of humor.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Thanks Steve for posting this about Rod.

Denise and I will also miss Rod. He was always quick with a joke and truly enjoyed being with Corvette people.

He probably gave away more product than he sold to his friends. There area several of his high quality items on our C5.

Rest in peace brother


EDIT:

Link to his obituary
