    My curiosity has gotten the better of me. Where is BigFitz? I miss his "valves, valves, valves!"

    Life has gotten in the way of him hanging out on the World Wide Web.

    Last word was a member here was in touch with him - he is doing fine but not able to spend a lot of time here . . . .
    I miss him also. :(

    It think that it speaks volumes about Fitz and this forum when he is the subject of multiple threads with people asking where he is. What a great bunch of people we all are :)

    Yeah, recently I started reading all of his posts. Funny, insightful, intelligent, the right amount of attitude, maybe a little too hard on Honda for my taste, but WTF, he's allowed to be wrong sometimes, right? LOL. He stopped visiting before I joined, and although I knew I missed him, now I am learning how much... The way we talk about the guy, you'd think he's friggin dead. Nope, he's just living in the real world, and the real world is kinda rough sometimes. Hope he's back soon. Feels like I lost a friend I never had...

    Haven't heard from Rick in forever. The last thing I remember was that his health was in rapid decline :(

    I know this is an old question, because I've been embarrassingly been absent from the site for longer than BigFitz, but any update on how he's doing? And Rick, as well?
    With only 160+ posts to my name in 12 years, I'm a nobody compared to them (and to so many more of you). While I know firsthand how life can get in the way, I was extremely saddened today to see that they are no longer able to contribute.

    I believe Rick is dealing with Parkinson's (same thing Michael J Fox has).
    However it is not always like Hollywood as my father can attest as he is in the late stages of it.
    I wish the best for Rick and his family.

    Rick's contributions are no less grand than Big Fitz's both of those guys have helped hundreds of people.... they did good, really good.

    Yeah, correct about Rick. And Fitz is focusing on family priorities. Someday I hope to be half as missed as those two.

    I provide comedy. They brought a wealth of knowledge. Their how to write-ups are better than Haynes. I stand beside you as you work on your bike, picking on you for your plumber's crack.

    "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve". - Bilbo Baggins

    Give Fitz my regards - he helped me no end.
