QUOTE(Mr.242 @ Aug 12 2014, 06:47 PM)  I am in shock. I have very fond memories of NORD. He sold me my front valence, ecause be wanted me to have a very nice one for my build. He insisted on a fair price. I am blessed to have had this happen. My mind spins as I try to get my Monday figured out so I can make the drive. I have no vacation time at work and suspect I will be denied. My thoughts and condolences. NORD you will be missed. He drove from Bellingham to deliver a front GT valence to me, "didn't want it to get fucked up". This is how a man is remembered! I hope you can make it. |

A friend of Nord's sent me this...
"Nord was a good man and a friend to me in many different circles. his 914 was a big deal to him and a path to many good friends. I'm gonna miss him. I'm missing him right now." |

QUOTE(greenie @ Aug 12 2014, 08:19 PM) Hi All, I just got off the phone with one of Nord's sons Paul. Kind of funny that he was trying to reach Nord's friends but didn't know how to contact us. He tried PCA but since Nord was a teener they didn't know us! This morning I called Nord on his cell phone, his granddaughter told Paul that someone called Grandpa! Paul knows how important the 914 and the people that love these cars were to his father. He was so happy to talk. I told him of our plans to drive up an honor his dad, he said that him and his family will be thrilled! Shorts and flip flops (it's all Nord wore) are appropriate. I'm missing Nord, Curt That is SOOOOOO Nord!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I guess I'm ready then. Since I've had a day to digest the loss of my friend, I find myself smiling at the memories we shared over the past 5 years that I knew him. I have really fond memories teaming up with Nord for the Artist Point runs. We'd talk cars as we cooked eggs, sausage ("the maple kind, yeah, yeah. . .") pancakes etc. Nord lived and breathed cars and had a special affinity for the 914. He was one hell of a driver too. About a year ago, I had a father/son pair come out to the shop from Spokane for an engine build. That Wednesday evening was the Artist Point run for the Chuckanut sports car club, so I called Nord to see if he had an empty seat for one of them. Of course he was happy to oblige. We proceeded to give those two guys a night they would never forget. We made it from the top to the bottom in just over 14 minutes that night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) When we stopped for dinner after the blast down, the dad looked at Nord and I and said, "This beats the hell out of hanging around at the hotel!! I've never been so scared in all my life!!" I looked at Nord and said, "Mission accomplished!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I'm glad I was able to make one more trip up and down Artist Point with him a couple weeks ago. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) R.I.P. Nord!! May you always enjoy the endless twisty road and perpetually full tank. . . |

Greenie's mention of Nord's granddaughter got me to thinking about what a great Grandpa he must have been; that easy smile and gravelly voice must have been music to a little one's ears....Grandpa's here!
Hard to believe he's gone, he was so engaged in everyday living and so full of life. This is very hard to take. Miss you buddy. |

WOW , Very sad news !!!!!
Troy just messaged me. I was just thinking of him last Saturday as I viewed Mt Baker, thinking I would love to make his breakfast run to Artist point this year. My condolenceses to his family, Nord was always smiling and having fun. I know he was close to alot of you PNW and World brothers, many stories will be remembered and retold about him. I can reflect on the several times we met and hung out. Always a class act. His memory will last with me until its my turn......... RIP Nord sad.gif sad.gif |

We don't see Mt Baker often from T town but when I do from now on it will remind me of Nord. I only made the run once but it was a great day. Wish I could make it Monday but on a trip planned for a long time.

Never met Nord, but he sold me a set of 1.7 rockers last year for my 2056 build. Super-pleasant to deal with, and insisted that I not send payment until I'd received the parts and verified that I could use them.
My condolences to his family and those who knew him well. Will be thinking of you all next time I drive the teener. Make the most of your time; we don't get to see how much is left on the game clock. |

Damn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We were friends and he was definitely as awesome as you all describe. I first met him in person at the last PNW clinic and he brought some pickled fish to temp me with/fuck with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Very generous. He had offered up he place for this coming PNW clinic and it just happened to be too far for most. We talked often over email/PM. Cant believe how sudden this was as I knew nothing of any illness. We have lost a great man, friend, enthusiast and we are all better for knowing him.

So sorry to hear this. I met Nord once, the breakfast at the Bremerton pancake house in 09. What a great guy, drove all the way down to for breakfast with other teeners. Always wanted to go to one of his drives and breakfast but it seemed there was always something keeping me from it. My loss!! He will be missed. He was a great ambassador for our cars and our lives! RIP buddy!
