Hello Gentlemen

Thanks for the notice of a major Packard icon passing. I never personally knew or spoke with Bob Turnquist, though I should have to express my appreciation for his book. I bought my copy in the mid-sixties, as a teenager spend hours pouring over it. It was the first really authoritative writing available on Classic era Packards. I still quote information he imparted when discussing Packards.
He did so much directly and indirectly for the preservation of an important part of American automotive history. For that good work, Bob, just like Beverly Rae Kimes and Henry Austin Clark Jr. will always be remembered.

RIP Bob, you did good!
