More sad news...
Apparently Roy of American Hot Rod, about the only person on the show that
actually knew anything about metal, has passed away. The following message was posted on the Discovery Channel message board on October 27th: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Hello everyone, This is a post I really don't want to write and it is being done with great sadness. Roy's wife, Laura, had been battling an illness for quite sometime, and last week she succumbed to that illness and passed away. She and Roy were soul mates and needless to say that devastated Roy. Last night Roy joined her in Heaven. He passed away ending his bought with lung cancer. We wanted to let all of you who wrote in know that Roy did get your messages. He, as well as his family and all of us at Boyd Coddington's Garage appreciated all your thoughts and prayers. Roy was very special to us and he will be sorely missed. May God bless Roy and Laura. Thank you Roy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Apparently he was diagnosed near the end of the Make-A-Wish build and though I didn't notice it he was shown in a wheelchair in the background on the last show of the season. When Gary Woodford of Milwaukee Iron (the show was Southern Steel) died their site had a tribute up amost immediately. I found out about Gary because they threw up a message at the end of the show saying "In loving memory of Gary Woodford". It wasn't a new show, just a morning rerun. Roy died over a month ago and I can't find any mention of it on the Boyd Coddington site. :-( When the person who posted the above message was asked about it he replied that they never thought of it. I just watched one of their shows and there was no message about it at the end or anything. :-( Best Regards, Keith Marshall "I'm not grown up enough to be so old!" |

They ran all the shows he had appeared in and put up the "in memmory of" screen. Hmm... four discovery channel personalities in a bit over a year: Indian Larry, Tim Roberts from Wing Nuts, Gary Woodford, and Roy of American Hotrod.
