I am told my old friend Daryl Burry has passed away. He ran ProWest converters for years and went on to run the converter shop at TCS performance "who are a huge sponsor and supporter of this site" and then to Island converters. At one time he sponsored at least ten cars mine included and would not take a penny I offered him back twenty years ago. He was always happy to just settle up with a night of sipping some good tequila. He was likely one of the best converter guys on the West Coast and one of the nicest guys I have ever ran across. Have not seen him in a few years as he lived on Vancouver Island and I am on the coast but I sure will miss him and the tequila days we had together. If any one has stories or info would love to hear them. He was always my go to guy when I had any tranny issues damn shame he was in his early 50's

When googling my dad's name I came across this forum and saw your kind words about my dad and it really made me smile. He was a great man with a big heart and was always very passionate about his work, so it is very heartwarming to see that he made an impression on you guys. He passed away on December 11th, 2013. He didn't have a funeral as per his wishes but he does have an online obituary if you're interested in posting something there, I'm sure the rest of the family would love it.

There is probably quite a few of us on this forum that have had the pleasure of dealing with your father over the years. My latest was having him freshen my convertor at Island Convertors. I'm positive he will be greatly missed by many transmission businesses and customers on the Island and Lower Mainland. He was a great asset to us all. My condolences....  Richard
