Friends we will miss on their next journey...

Dennis Meyer and his beloved 72' Buick Centurian - A fellow enthusiast who attended every event.

If you have been coming to Cruise Nite for awhile, you know we are missing Jerry in the Dancin' Dog t shirt booth. "Garsh" left us to be with all the great hot rodders that left us too early.

If you've been coming to Cruise Nite for a while now, you surely feel the absence of Jerry in the t-shirt booth. Jerry wasn't just a fixture of that booth; he was a beloved part of the Cruise Nite experience. With his warm smile and endless enthusiasm, he welcomed everyone who ventured to check out the latest designs. His knowledge about cars and the culture surrounding them made the booth not just a place to grab some new apparel, but also a hangout spot for enthusiasts. Many of us spent countless hours engaging in conversations with Jerry, sharing stories about our favorite rides and the memories we made on the open road. His commitment to the community was evident in the way he interacted with attendees, treating each customer as if they were a friend. Whether it was a classic car aficionado or a newcomer simply curious about the event, Jerry had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged. It’s these little moments—exchanging laughs over a quirky t-shirt design or listening to Jerry’s anecdotes about previous Cruise Nites—that we miss the most. Each shirt sold was like a badge of honor, representing not just a purchase, but a chance to connect with Jerry and the larger community. As we gather to celebrate the spirit of Cruise Nite this year, let’s keep Jerry’s memory alive in our hearts. Let’s honor his presence by sharing stories among ourselves as we browse the booths, wear our shirts proudly, and continue the camaraderie that he cherished. Although he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit lives on in every gathering of car lovers and every shared experience on those lively summer nights under the stars.
