RIP Jim Reark

It is with great sadness that I have to report to you that our esteemed and much loved Club President, Jim Reark, has passed away overnight. Jim passed away peacefully in his sleep which is a blessing. He fought the good fight and in the end his creator needed him more than we did. He leaves a void that no one else can hope to fill. From the current Maserati Club Committee and all those involved in the wider Maserati Club community, we send our sincere condolences to the Reark and Williams families. As everyone is no doubt aware, Jim was a unique character that absolutely loved what he was doing. The Club itself and the way it is run is a reflection of his expansive personality. Everyone was equal in his eyes and if they were a member of his club all the better, they by association, became a part of his wider family. He will be sadly missed. This is all very sudden and the swiftness of it came as a shock. The Committee will be working with the family on arrangements and we will keep everyone informed on that in the next twenty four hours Rest in Peace Jimmy
