In Memorial
The old car world and 356 community in particular, has lost a vital force of enthusiasm and support.
Mr.Heinrichs has passed from this mortal coil in an untimely and unfortunate manner, demonstrating once again that death knows no respect for justice nor reward for a life well lived.
The fact that he exhausted the last of his vitality in his battle against illness in valiant service to the Members of the 356 Registry, is a testament to his fortitude and his commitment to a sense of right and wrong that reflected well of a sterling character.
Those of us who understood and rallied behind his attempt, at no small personal cost, to bring civility and the rule of law to an enthusiast organization whose core purpose had long been perverted by a scofflaw elitist Ruling Circle, he was a beacon of right valiantly trying to bring light to a small and very dark corner of weakness and greedy self interest, for the sake of principle alone.
Sadly, the recipients of the rewards of his dedication were then, and remain, too ignorant and/or dishonorable to appreciate his sacrifices in their name, choosing instead to mock and revile his attempt to free them from the yoke of petty tyranny.
This is, by any right-thinking point of view, the very definition of selfless sacrifice, an honorable last act that anyone could well be proud of.
