RIP, Chuck

You can't make this stuff up . . .

Dimmick, Chuck P.

Born December 29, 1958 in Riverside, CA passed away suddenly on April 18, 2009 while attending a NASCAR race to watch his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. Chuck was the loving husband of Kristen and devoted father of Dillon. Chuck was the Director of Marketing for the Lund Cadillac Group. We are sure he would still want all to know that 0.9% financing is still available on all New 2008 Hummer H2's. A mass celebrating Chuck's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, April 24th at St. Patrick's Church - 10815 N. 84th St. Scottsdale, AZ. Arrangements handled by Hansen Desert Hill Mortuary 480-991-5800. In Lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Dillon Dimmick Donation Fund at any Bank of America.

I especially like this tribute:

Chuck was a man of the highest Dodge Caliber. He was built Ford tough and Like a Rock he was strong as he could be. He was never out of his Honda Element. His Buick Regal demeanor only punctuated the pleasant Pontiac Vibe you felt around him. He was very Chevy Cavalier and sold cars with such Plymouth Fury. Customers said listening to him sell the car was like hearing a Hyundai Sonata.I remember one time when Chuck and I were over in Hyundai Santa Fe at this Ford Fiesta back in Oldsmobile 88, we were on Buick Park Avenue, standing under this Dodge Neon sign looking up at the Saturn Sky and, like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, out of the Dodge Shadow, came a Mercury Cougar. Quick as a Ford Ranger Chuck drew his Chevy Beretta and shot it. I said Chuck you are a true Isuzu Hombre and he replied well you are a hell of a Suzuki Sidekick.

I will deeply miss him.
