Sad News

[at the beach]

"Tiger Blue", Rick Mueller, passed away peacefully at his home in San Clemente on April 8th, 2024 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He is survived by his wife Bonnie, and son Chase.

Rick was CAT's long time Treasurer. He was also our original web master and he founded this Forum.
CAT would not be the success that it is today had it not been for Rick's massive contributions.
He certainly will be missed.

I remember talking transmission options with Rick at one of the Uniteds, and he said something to the effect that they'd have to pry his 4-speed toploader out of his cold dead hands. He (and I) were fond of the stock tranny. It was funny at the time...

It is with greatest sadness to hear about Rick's passing. He was a real character and a friend to us german Sunbeamers and specifically Tiger owners after he and Bonnie visited our National. May he rest in Peace. Our thoughts are with his family...

My condolences to Bonnie and Chase. Rick and Bonnie were the first people I hung around with when I first joined the club. Rick was the first person to give Pam a ride in a Tiger, since my Tiger was in the restoration process. Rick's Black Tiger once belonged to a friend who owned it when we were all in our early 20's. RIP Rick it was a good ride.
