Roadster Owner passed

Post by spl310 »

A local Roadster buddy has passed. Charles Godwin, owner of a nice 70 1600, and a few other roadsters has passed. He was the owner of Jacksonville Jukebox, and was a great friend. He was an engaging person with the gift of gab, and would go out of his way to help a friend. He will be missed.

Wow! So sorry to hear this, he was a fun guy. What a tragedy. My thoughts are with his family.

Oh crap. He was indeed a nice guy. He and I had several exchanges and conversations on how to hook up the VB headlight harness. This day has not got any better. Sad loss.

Sid, my wife and I send our condolences. She was very shocked to hear the news. He was such a great guy and very engaging the day you guys picked up the car (I know he loved Roadster race cars and his passion was contagious) If you or his family need anything please reach out.

Charles, What a nice guy. We often spoke of his Jukebox business and I had plans to buy one from him. A true entrepreneur. May his memory be eternal.
