I'm speechless! What a tragedy!

I only met him the once at DCS and he seemed a great guy.

RIP Cliff

Rest in peace DeLorean enthusiast, you'll be missed by the DMC community :mecry:

I only met him once as well, but he really knew his stuff and seemed like a nice man. It's a shame I wont get to know him any further! He was the true DMC MAN!!

What a huge loss to our community. He was such a gentle person, knew that car VERY well, and overall was extremely helpful and suggestive with any repairs. I only worked with him once on my rear wheel bearings being replaced, and that man was so methodical with such an amazing eye for attention to detail. His collection of DMC material is surreal, and I hope this situation will be treated with extreme respect.

Speaking for myself, he was a cornerstone in the DeLorean Club of Ohio, and his presence will be vastly missed.

I've been choked up since I saw this on the news. Cliff was a truly great man who generously donated his time, tools, parts, and knowledge to all of his DeLorean friends in Cincinnati. I'm at a loss for words. He will be missed by all who knew him and can never be replaced.

Oh my gosh. How terrible! What will happen to Proto 1?

There was a clause for Tony to buy back Proto if any thing we're to happen. I sat at Cliffs table at DCS. Just crazy news.

A horrible loss to the DeLorean community. I was very sorry to read this.

As far as speculations to anything outside the loss of Cliff Schmucker (such as Proto), please refrain from any further postings of such things, as this is not an appropriate time to speculate anything.


To those of you who knew Mr. Schmucker, you all have my condolences.


-Mike

RIP Cliff.
