Condolences to the McCandless family.

She was a wonderful lady--When Herb still ran his parts business she ran the office and check book--I was selling Herb engine cores--he paid me a good amount for back then for all I could bring in so I made it a full time business--She just hated seeing me come in the door as she always had top write me a big check--I took her flowers, etc I tried everything --Herb was always thrilled to see our big loads of cores come in but I will always remember Marie writing me those checks and ripping them out of the book. We spoke of it all years later and had a good laugh.
That and I have to tell one more tale--
Went to see Herb one day--he says give me your pocket knife--he had a new whizz bang sharpener--made my pocket knife downright dangerous it was so sharp--later Marie came down to tell Herb something--her arm and thumb was in a cast--she said Herb had sharpened every knife in her kitchen with that thing and she had nearly cut her thumb off! Not funny at the time but looking back at a very strong lady that lived to the fullest.
RIP--what a lady!!

Our condolences to Herb and his family. So sorry to hear this and may she Rest In Peace. Herb is such a great guy.

The trips Herb and Marie made to Long Island were great, and you guys are a phenomenal group. We truly appreciate the kind words and support from the racing and automotive community. This is a loss and pain unlike any other.

Thank you for all of the kind words.

Sorry for your loss! In our thoughts and prayers!!!!!

My wife was friends with Marie on some quilting forums and I seen the name and location then I told her to ask if she was any relation. To my surprise it was Herb's wife and we exchanged phone numbers and talked about stick racing Mopars. He sent me an autographed 8X10 of his Demon on the bumper Funny how two worlds come together and make a connection.
My wife sends her condolences to the McCandless family and I wish to add my deepest sympathy to Herb as I know he loved her dearly.
