My condolences go to Patrick and his family at the passing of his father, Dave.
When I was looking to purchase a Tiger in 1993 and found one in a northern suburb of Chicago, Dave was a TEAE regional rep and I called him. Over the course of a couple of phone calls, he talked me through what to look for in a Tiger and provided some information about the owner whom he had met a few times at British car gatherings in the area. With his helpful information and encouragement, I drove down to Chicago from Minnesota and bought the Tiger. Second to asking my wife to marry me, it was the best decision I ever made.
Sadly, I never got the chance to meet him in person and thank him for his support.
May he rest in peace.
