Real shame; I only met him for the first time in October at the O-Fest and the Classic gathering. He drove the twin of my '67 2000CS and we parked and drove together to show our cars off.
He was a real character.

Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness to inform you that our good friend and long-time club member Elliott Schnackenberg passed away unexpectedly at the age of 82 in his home in Milwaukee a few days before Christmas. Elliott was not married and had no children. He is survived by his nephews and nieces.
Elliott participated in almost every club event whether in the US or in Germany. Elliott was a true gentleman and his presence at the upcoming Classic 02/02 Meet in Florida for which he had registered will be greatly missed.
