Corvettes Conquer Cancer Founder, Ben Labaree, passes away...

Many on this site may have encountered Ben over the years. Nice guy, he was on a mission of awareness for cancer after his wife Sandy was diagnosed.

First in his C5, then His emblazoned C6 traveled the USA and was legendary.

Sad news to hear about Ben:

As a long time member of the C5-6 registry I got to know Ben quite well. Went on several cruises with him and of course time at Carlisle. I told Ben that the way he could pack his Vette to go to shows that he had the only ever made 3/4 ton rated Vette

My wife's and my name were proudly painted on his Vette.

RIP my friend!

My condolences as well to all Ben's family, friends and those he helped without their ever knowing it. Rest In Peace. I appreciate your work and having the opportunity to meet and talk with you.

I'll take cor28vettes' post above and quote part of it, and add a bit: "A great ambassador for the cause" and for the Corvette community, as well as his just.cause..
