In Memory-Craig Wexelblatt

[Walter Youshock]

Our family lost one of its finest members this past Tuesday, June 17.  Henry "Craig" Wexelblatt passed away from diabetic complications.  Craig was a proud member of the CLC, AACA, PFC, Valley Forge and Upper Susquehanna Regions as well as the founder and Director of his beloved 5 Liter Chapter.

Craig and his aunt Carolyn who survives him were staples at Hershey for many years and attended several Grand Nationals where Craig always had a vendor booth filled with literature.  If he didn't have it at the show, chances are he had it in his vast collection or would find it for you.  And if you needed a part for your Cadillac, he'd check with the dealer or put it on the junk yard list. 

Craig also took great pride in his Cadillacs and referred to them by name--"Joanna", his original '83 Sedan deVille and "Ginger", his beloved '88 Brougham purchased new, driven daily, and that was undergoing a complete restoration.  Ginger's story is legendary to many of us...  He would never consider anything but a Cadillac for daily transportation.

A family visitation is scheduled for Wednesday, the 25th from 1-3 at the William H. Clark FH of Stroudsburg, PA.  Link to the obituary:  http://www.wmhclarkfuneralhome.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=2573574&fh_id=13105

Donations may be made to the charity of donor's choice.  Please consider the CLCMR as a fitting tribute to his love of Cadillacs and the CLC.

I met Craig last fall during Hershey week at a friend's house. Was a real class act with a fantastic car. Never met the guy before but was super easy to talk to. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I found Craig to be an enthusiastic Cadillac aficionado but a champion human.  He will be missed.

I bought several items from Craig over the years at Grand Nationals. If he didn't have it there, he would ship it, and his prices were so reasonable. Better yet, Craig was a fine human being who lived Cadillac. This is a big loss to the CLC. RIP, my friend.

A terrible loss for our hobby; he was a genuinely nice guy. Sincere condolences to Aunt Carolyn and all Craig's friends.
