Wow, 56 is young. Enrique will be missed. I remember him posting a fair amount , always honestly and without animosity. He had a really nice restoration Roadster.
RIP Enrique

I never met him in person but I found that his posts here indicated a person that was very helpful to the community and willing to share his knowledge.

My condolences to his family.

You never see orange Roadsters and I've always wondered why. That one looks great!

I always enjoyed talking with him about the details of Roadsters and will miss him. He was a great guy and had a good outlook on life despite his health problems.

Enrique was also a Z guy.

Enrique was a DROPS list member.
I met him many times at the Canby and Blue Lake shows in OR.
A knowledgeable, feisty, roadster guy who was never shy to speak his mind!
Saw him last at Blue Lake in Aug 2012. His health had improved and he seemed on the way to recovery.
Enrique, hope your having a good last Roadster drive!

Never met him personally, but his advice related to painting read like a primer (no pun intended) on how to do things right.
Great resource, always giving of helpful info, "representative of the "roadster spirit".
Will be greatly missed.

Enrique was a volunteer moderator here. He was also a great help when I was months behind on the registry. He dove in and quickly learned HTML. He even made some improvements on the newer entries page layouts. We had many great conversations over the phone. He really wanted to export all of the info from the old registry to the database driven one. I did not even realize he was ill as he never mentioned that once to me. He had not been on the forum in quite a while and none of my emails to him were replied to-now I understand why. God bless him and his family. May he never be forgotten. Roadster on Enrique. You will be missed.
