RIP Chuck Dimmick. I'm gonna buy me a Hummer!

Post by fearfaoin »

This is the product placement-iest obituary I've ever seen.
From legacy.com:
Chuck P. Dimmick
Dimmick, Chuck P. born December 29, 1958 in Riverside, CA passed away suddenly on April 18, 2009 while attending a NASCAR race to watch his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. Chuck was the loving husband of Kristen and devoted father of Dillon. Chuck was the Director of Marketing for the Lund Cadillac Group. We are sure he would still want all to know that 0.9% financing is still available on all New 2008 Hummer H2's. A mass celebrating Chuck's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, April 24th at St. Patrick's Church...

:lol: Oh my gosh. That is horribly funny. I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for him.

Actually, I just might get a hummer with that .9% discount.

LOL, niether, TWC. He was obviously a car man to the end. I am sure that that part of the obit was probably 100% accurate and although you may not get it, it likely honors him as a dedicated retail car man. I was in that line of work for over 20 years and I know more than a few really great guys who would be glad to have that line or something like it in their obit. Those who are really passionate about the car biz live it breathe it eat it and drink it 24/7.

It's true. My grandma worked at GMC in Atlanta until she retired there. She pretty much brain washed my to hate every car other than GMC cars. Of course the effect has worn off though.

Thank goodness, with the way things are going,
you may not be able to buy them for much longer!
