Hi Chuck,
Still learning the ins and outs on this Forum. I answered your questions in a post near the bottom of the page. Please let me know if you need anything else. Debbie (Jim's daughter)

Hi there,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. For some reason the other computer I was using didn't want to log on!!
I asked my brother your questions and this was his reply: "I am doing my best to supply parts until the business is sold. Anyone in need can e-mail me at darrylrae@live.com and I will do my best to locate what they are looking for. I am actively looking for someone to run or purchase the business in it's entirety to carry on with. Anyone with interest, please contact me. As for the Rambler-Rama show held at Haugens..... it is put on by Northern Ramblers Car Club and it will not change. The show will be carried on by the club as it has been for years." Hope this helps. Take care, Debbie |

Is there any info on whether Jim Raes business will be carried on?
He was also a major force behind the AMC show held at Haugens Chicken Restaurant in Manchester Ontario. Any info on whether there will be a show held there this year? |

I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful things you've had to say about my Dad, Jim Rae.
His children, grandchildren, extended family and his many, many friends continue to mourn his passing. He was taken from us far too soon.
There is something that he said many times in and around his quadruple bypass in 2012. "If I die, it's okay because I've lived a great life." That, he most certainly did. He loved life and all it had to offer.
I have found myself often coming to this forum just to read the nice things people have said about him. In a way it brings comfort; just knowing the positive impact he had on so many.
Thank you again for your kind words.
Debbie

I attended the services for Jim today in Port Perry ON. It was great to see several of Jim's "Creations" in the parking lot of the funeral chapel including his own Burgandy and Grey Rambler. I spoke with his son Darryl and Jane and we shared stories about Jim and how many people he touched. How no matter how many trips I made to his shop or how many questions I had, he never turned me away, and how it was just 7 weeks ago that we all got together in Indiana at the Auburn/Cord Museum at the AMO show. I was unaware how much of a Toronto Maple Leafs fan he was, I'll make sure to not hold that agains't him (LOL one more jab for the road old friend). All the best to Jim's family in this difficult time.

While I did not know Jim, he is the third I know of in a line of genuine NICE, KIND AMC guys who have passed in the last short while, following AMXMGS, and AMCPSYCHO both of whom were like Jim apparently kindhearted souls who where happy to help a fellow hobbyist get the parts they needed for their cars.
These are the type of guys this hobby needs more of, people who do not talk down to you, and treat you like a human being when you are asking about parts and in need of help. If we do not help each other out, this hobby will not grow. Every time someone passes in the hobby it always seems to be one of the good guys, the guys everyone loved because they were nice genuine people who were not afraid to put helping others before themselves. In short I just hope new guys show up to fill individual's like Jim's kind shoes. We need more Amarks and Bulltears and Controlfreaks, more like Peter Stathes and Galvins and less of those other vendors that like to talk down and degrade those who come to them seeking knowledge and parts (you know who they are). We need vendors who are happy to have their customers, and take the time to go the extra mile for both them and the benefit of the hobby. RIP Jim, you sound like a class act. Thank you so much for what you have given to the hobby and all those hearts you have warmed in your involvement with these fine AMC products! |
