I have not been on this site for the past week as I have been out of town. So sorry to read about the passing of E.K.. First time I actually met him was when I had my first Prowler back in 1999. Really a great guy to talk with. I always thought he was the picture of the "classic hor rodder" smoking a cigarette and long hair, enjoying cool cars, and just taking in life. Clearly a cornerstone of the "Pavillions experience" and surely he will be missed by all who had any type of contact with him. God Bless Him

Frank Tipton

Frank was the greatest guy to the Prowler Community.
Frank and Dink made everyone feel right at home
for all the Key Largo Events and all the
National Events they attended.
Sincerely,
Marji and Ted

I received this message from Jay today

On 19 May 2008 a sad entry was recorded in Prowler History with the passing of Frank Tipton (Key Largo, FL) as he lost a valiant and lengthy battle with cancer. We will all miss him and his many, many contributions to the Prowler Community as host to many FUN, FUN, FUN Prowlin adventures.

Frank was a real Cat Lover…

First there was "Missy" the house cat… later she was joined by Silver and then Candy Red Prowlers… 3 Cats in all, a Cat Lover's Dream!!!

We know any Prowler Owners who ever met Frank will simply remember him as a GREAT individual who knew no strangers, loved having a good time and was always most generous. He was a loyal supporter and charter member of the Florida and Dixie Kat Packs, organized to continue the Prowler legacy. I met Frank (we both got a Prowler in 2000) and quickly came to enjoy his company… to admire and respect his genuine, refreshing personality. Our introduction developed into "Best Friends" and his passing has left a void in my life as with many others too.

Sincerely,
Jay, aka Yeller Cat

Jack Breevaart left us the Tuesday before Thanksgiving driving what he loved, his 1999 Red Prowler that he had won from the local Indian Casino.
His daughter Carrie has set up an "Ag Mechanic Scholarship Fund" at Chico State University for those who would like to contribute.
The address is:
College of Agriculture
Development Office,
CSU, Chico,
Chico, CA 95929-0310

The checks should be made out to "CSU, Chico Agriculture" and in the memo, put Jack Breevaart. You will receive a thank you from the development director of the Ag department, then after the first of the year you'll receive a receipt from the main development office for the campus that you can use for tax purposes.

If you can find it in your hearts to contribute, please do Jack was a wonderful person and will be missed.

For those that want to know what happened the car was in very bad shape. Jack slid into a Telephone pole sideways at about 50 to 60 miles per hour, it hit the car right at the drivers door and caved in the door about 18 inches. He knew nothing after that. Then the car flipped over on to its roof (backwards) and the pole fell on top of the car. The funny thing is there is no damage to the engine hood or either front wheel covers.

Jack was an x-race driver and it is hard to believe something like that could have happend to him. Know your car, drive safely, and let's help Jack satisfy one of his wishes and contribute to his scholarship.

The almighty Lord taketh a great Prowler brother and a true humanitarian...
Our most sincere sympathies & condolences to his family.
In Loving Memory :

Douglas W. Crandell
October 22, 1956 - November 19th, 2007

+++++++++

From Prowler owner/friend Charles Williams: "I just received a phone call from Doug Crandell's brother. Doug passed away on November 19 and his services will be held today in Hayward CA. Sorry for the late notice. Please keep Doug's family in your prayers. We will always remember Doug and his Inca Gold prowler. He loved his prowler so much, he bought two in the same color."

I remember Doug as easy going, free spirited with an overall friendly personality. He was the unofficial photo guy in many of the NorCal runs. May he rest in eternal peace. He is pictured at: http://www.prowleronline.com/scrapbook/neweventview.php?id=403

Rest in Peace Brother Douglas W. Crandell

Dick and Betty spent the winter in Arizona, and joined the Arizona group on several event outings. The Bakers owned two Prowlers, but it was their yellow Prowler that they brought to Arizona.

Truly, great Prowler people. The Arizona group will deeply miss Dick at our events

Mel (02Kandy) and Rick (Rickster) flew to Detroit last Friday for the Detroit Auto Show. While they were in the parking garage, Mel passed out, fell backward and hit his head on the concrete. He died last night of complications from the fall. The Prowler community has lost a wonderful man and we will miss him and his smiles.

Our sincerest condolences to his wife Jane, Rick and the entire Beyes family. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

We enjoyed many great times with Mel, Jane & Rick at many Prowler events. We will miss him greatly.

CJ and Bob

I want to share information about Doug's death with you all. The coroner determined he had a massive heart attack and was probably gone before he hit the floor. I'm so thankful that he didn't suffer. I had just walked into another room when I heard him fall, and because he had fallen backwards, with just socks on the tile floor, I thought he had slipped.

I want to express my appreciation for all of your kind wishes. Doug LOVED his Prowler ... and all things Prowler! He researched forever before he bought his. And, as with every pursuit during his lifetime, he was passionate about the entire Prowler experience. He loved participating in this forum. Doug lived his life to the fullest. Those who knew him well knew that while he seemed gruff on the outside, he truly was a caring, compassionate person who wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was my husband and partner for 44 years.

His memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 31st at Emmerson-Bartlett Mortuary, 703 Brookside Ave., Redlands. Viewing is at noon and the service will begin at 1:00. He will be buried at Desert Lawn Cemetery in Calimesa, and we will have a Celebration of Life get-together at the Redlands Elks Lodge afterwards. Those wishing not to go to the cemetery may go directly to the Elks Lodge.

Each of you has touched his life. This will be the last post from DFOTOMAN.

[B]Sue Kesler, Pocatello, Idaho, has passed away and our Prowler community has lost another owner. Sue took possession of her red 1999 Prowler in 2006, when her brother 'E.K.' Kesler (AZ) passed away. E.K. wanted his Prowler to be handed down to a family member, and Sue wanted to keep the memory of her brother with her through life. Sue had said she really enjoyed taking the red Prowler out for weekly 'spin' when weather permitted.

Along with the Arizona Prowler owners and friends that knew Sue, please keep her and the Kesler family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

R I P

Sept. 6, 1941-April 27, 2011

POCATELLO — (Alta) Sue Kesler entered this world Sept. 6, 1941, to Mary Luella Crofts and Edmund Fredrick Kesler, the youngest of four children; Burley, Idaho, being her birthplace.

Sue loved life and all that it had to offer, she was never afraid of a challenge and boy did she have some doozey’s.

Shehad to be busy, summers were the best because she loved being outdoors getting a little dirt on her hands, gardenin’, campin’ , fishin’ and just doin’!

Sue was a very compassionate loving woman; people that crossed her path couldn’t help but like her, she always had kind words of wisdom and a gentle loving spirit for anyone that needed her.

Sue was a hard worker, she retired from the Teamsters in 2004. She had many close friends, her road construction days held many fond memories for her.

Mom wasn’t a material person, she always said that stuff could be replaced but when it came to family that was a whole nother matter!

Sue was the glue that kept her family flourishing through the difficult times with her unconditional love. She cherished her family, her children and grandchildren were her special jewels. Her everything. She was their rock.

Sue was preceded in passing by her parents; one brother, Kay Kesler; and many other special loved ones.

She is survived in life with one sister, Luanne Evans; and one brother, Byron Kesler; five children, Michael Bauer, JoAnn Bauer, Roberta (Hathaway) (Dallen) Ward, Linda Hutchison and Craig Cunningham; 12 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

Mom went home in the early morning of Wednesday, April 27, 2011. She left us due to complications from the cancer of 1995.

We are happy she is finally at peace. Mom will be missed by many and our wish now is to celebrate her life.

No flowers, please. (Mom wouldn’t want it lookin’ like a funeral.)

A celebration of Sue’s life will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, May 6, at 5425 Old Bannock Highway in Pocatello, Idaho [/B]
