I just got word that Dave Clark of Sundance Bug and Buggy passed away 12-10-09 @ 2:30am. A great friend who was well known to the VW Community. When I walked into Dave's shop I was greeted with a smile and if there was anything that I wanted to know about VW's , Dave would have no problem sharing his knowledge and helping me out. He's done this on more then one occasion.
Dave you will be missed and I'm sorry to see you go but I'm sure your in a better place now. Fare well my friend.....

I will keep you posted on more info as I get it

I would like to put together a memorial ride in Dave's name
What are your thoughts?

Wow... I'm in shock right now. Life is so short. He will be missed very much by so many. As for the ride, I think its a great idea. I just don't know right now.

R.I.P. My friend I will miss you. For 16 years you have been a true friend and mentor thank you you are truly one of a kind. Till we meet again my friend GOD be with you. PS. Tell CODY hi for me. Kevin

RIP Dave Clark you have always been a great friend to the VW community. Ours thoughts and prayers are with your family. Please kepp us informed of any way to honor him or help his family in their time of need.

What a huge loss. There's no replacing people like that.

I've never met him or been into his shop (he's just too far away from me in West Pasco) but I'm sad to hear he died. My uncle shopped there for years getting parts for his buggies. My uncle passed away Christmas eve last year.

Here's to great buggy rides in heaven!

I very sadden to hear this, Dave was a great person and friend. He was there when I started my business. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with his wife and family. Fair well friend and thanks for everything.

Shocking news indeed. I knew he was sick but didn't know it was that bad. My prayers are with his wife, family and friends. I think a memorial gathering would be a great idea.

I will miss Dave. He was way more than just a parts guy. He was a mentor an friend. Go in Peace Dave and God bless.

This is a big lost for the vw community a great man. All support and prayers to his wife and family. Please let me know if you gays decide to do any cruse of anything involving Dave I am from vw magics vw club from Kissimmee we all be there R.I.P Dave.

I found out about Dave a few months after. Myself and Jill also visited him frequently as we live in Seffner. It seems he was nice and friendly to just about everyone.
I don't know if the cruise brought up in this post last year was ever done, but they are having one the night before BugJam, and also I heard that the new owners of Sundance are going to have something in his honor in the next month or two also. I'm sure we will hear more on that soon.
