My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

Dont know if this was posted here yet, but sadly I just found out that network member ARED97 aka Richard "Dick" Bloomquist passed on June 26th 2013. I hadnt spoken to him in some time, and yesterday sent him a pm, and it was answered by his son Richard who gave me the sad news. I had met Dick in 2007 when he bought a set of stock svx wheels from me on ebay, and I delivered them in person while he was down in CT at his friends house which is a short distance from my job. I will never forget both he and his late Wife Rosie who sadly passed two years ago and I know Dick took it very hard from speaking to him. Even though I only met them in person three times they always had a smile on their faces and were just a delight to be around joking and laughing. They will both be sadly missed by there friends and families, and I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Bloomquist family and all there friends and relatives.

Re: My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

I am so sorry to hear that. I had not heard. I had just seen his 97 SVX in the For Sale forum. My condolences to the Bloomquist Family as well. I will change his membership into the Remembered Members.

Very sad. I had really enjoyed him and his passion for life. Both Rick and Rosey were two very special people and will be missed.

Re: My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

One of my favorite memories of my time as a part of this community was sitting in Dick and Rosie's home with Tomssvx, eating a homemade pistachio muffin, and having coffee, listening to their stories.

RIP to Dick and Rosie, some of the nicest folks I met during my tenure as a SVX owner.

Unhappy Re: My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

I met both at Reading uh......a couple years ago. I think it was Pace Car day. Rosie was "directing traffic" for the photo ops. Quite a sight. I asked Dick if she was always "this way", He smiled, rolled his eyes, & said "Yup". I knew this couple was made for each other. My condolences to their family.

Re: My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

Great eulogies. I went back to read his threads to refresh my memory. Rick and Rosie must have been a great couple. I would like to include my condolences. Also, a sad loss to the forum.

I was at that Reading...think it was 2005 or 2006...I too remember Rosie directing traffic!! I think they called her SVX "Rosies Rocket". Sad to hear they have passed. Nice folks. My condolences to the family.

Re: My Condolences to the Bloomquist Family

It seems that as the SVX gets more and more rare, so too does it's owners. We and it are a dying breed.
I had a close call with cancer two years ago and fortunately am still around.
My thoughts go out to the family.
