We ar sad to announce the loss of our dear friend Joanne Cantwell, wife of Chuck Cantwell. "She was surrounded by loved ones in person and spirit at the age of 87. A true love story lasting 61 years of marriage" to Chuck. She will be missed and memories of her at almost every National Convention and many local functions, will be forever cherished.

A Memorial service for her will be in a month or two;. we will post details when available.

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Dominic and I see Chuck and Joanne frequently as he lives in our area and attends many event we go to.  Had many chats with Joanne while she sat quietly by as Chuck would be the center of attention.  I truly believe Joanne was the center of Chuck's world and I am sadden for him to loose her.  Dominic and I will miss seeing her and talking with her. 

Our condolences to Chuck and his family.

very sad week ....  Joanne should be known as the grandmother of the corvette with her connectione to Zora Arkus‑Duntov when she worked with gm
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

She was a special lady indeed. I used to fuss over her when they arrived at car shows, ignoring Chuck!

Sending heartfelt condolences to the Cantwell family.  Although I never met Joanne, I was able to have the pleasure of meeting Chuck and his son last year at Ford Carlisle and again at SAAC 50.  I could relate to their strong family closeness and are thinking of them during this difficult time.
