Memorial Service for Peter Brittingham



"Peter was truly courageous in the way he did not give in to the disease that was threatening his life for so many years.
He conducted his Porsche with skill and enthusiasm and I am sure the rest of his life was lived equally fully.  Mortality.  Every day is a gift, isn’t it?" - John Schieffelin

 






A great friend to all VSCCA members and one of the brightest lights in my life went out today - (uncle) Frank Righetti passed away at about 1:00 PM, February 26th 2013. He passed peacefully - surrounded by close family. Rest well my friend.

Mark Gibbons
1926 - 2012

I am sorry to report that Mark Gibbons has passed away. He was a long time member of the club and, in an earlier day, was a mainstay of the prewar movement. Mark suffered a stroke while driving to a Christmas party last week, and died a day later at MGH in Boston. I for one am quite happy that this sociable, happy, and optimistic man did not suffer a long departure. Mark was ever the Edwardian gentleman of a time gone by, somewhat like someone's mischievous uncle who drops in occasionally to regale the company with tales of other friends and other adventures before whisking off to the next port of call. I think we can all picture Mark at the wheel of some wire-wheeled anachronistic conveyance, beret appearing behind a low windshield and scarf flowing along behind. The leather knapsack tucked into the boot has but one change of evening clothes, as his signature khaki jacket and bow tie are making do for everything else. Eschewing the kit of electronics, his small address book guided him from one friend's house to the next. We wish him well in the best guest room in the sky.

John Fitch and Gaston Andrey...


John C. Fitch 1917 - 2012 - In this life we are seldom blessed with exposure to genuine heros. There are lots of folks who are given that title for one reason or another though usually, at least in our experience, the hype far outweighs the reality. Today, though, October 31st, 2012, we can say with no fear of contradiction that a genuine hero has been called to his reward. John Fitch passed away in the night surrounded by people who loved him. That circle extended in spirit far beyond the confines of that little bedroom in Lime Rock. Whatever John did in this life he seems to have done it exceptionally well - whether that be flying fighter planes, racing motorcars, or designing many of the tools that save our lives. "A life well lived" would be the descriptor of choice and many will talk and write over the next weeks and months about those contributions just listed and it will all be well deserved. But today, on the day he passed, we need remember the human being. A man of honor and of love, John C. Fitch will be missed deeply.

Rest in Peace, old friend. Your like will not pass this way again.

jpd Editor, VSCCA
As I am sure you have all heard by now, our beloved John Fitch left this life today, October 31. A man who left his mark on all who were privileged to know him and a true hero of the greatest generation, he will be missed. As will another legend of our sport, Gus Andrey who passed last Saturday.

May they rest in peace.

John Schieffelin
