11-20-09 - "Norman Wnuk passed away unexpectedly, survived by two daughters and his beautiful wife, Jean. A decent human being, wise, practical, genuine, kind and unique. Norman's dream, All Things Jeep.com recently celebrated it's 6th birthday. An avid Jeeper and family man, Norman left this world too damned early and he will be missed by many."

It's a sad day! I didn't know him well but I do know he's a great guy and will be missed by the wheeling community.
Thoughts and Prayers are with the Wnuk family.

atj released this on their face book account
The founder & owner of All Things Jeep passed away Friday night completely unexpectedly. He was 44. Norman lived his life fully and passionately. He had dreams and determination and every dream he had, he set out to achieve. One of his biggest dreams was to build a successful Jeep business and he accomplished that drea...m. If he had known he was going to die so early, I don't think he would have changed anything he did. All Things Jeep will go on. Because of all of you, and as a tribute to Norman.Read More

 very sad indeed. Too young, way too young. Thoughts are with Jean and family. I never wheeled with him, but still liked the guy after chatting more than once. Jean is a strong woman, and I'm sure she'll be even stronger now. Prayers and thoughts with them all

I would be for doing something. Can we send flowers first of all, we have money that is for sure in the BSJ account! Perhaps also have a showing of support/jeepers at the services if they are open to the public?
We can take this to the club section if needed.

Id be happy to throw a few bucks in for a scholarship or memorial fund for his kids maybe we should see if the clubs of the NEA want to pool in for a fund...... i'm also in favor of sending flowers from the club. I know ATJ has been very good to us in the past. have shopped there a bit myself.
