Thank you for sharing. Although I do not know the man, nor his work, it is apparent from your post his outsized impact on the hobby. No doubt his involvement in the restoration and preservation of military history will be missed.

That's sad to hear about Brook, he was a very talented person.
I also had one of his restorations, a M152CDN sigs van.

Sorry to hear about Brook Quam's passing.

I did not know he was the man who recreated the M10. It is a testament of his skills.

My condolences, I am sure he will be sadly missed.

That eight-wheeler must have been in a few movies too. It is so familiar looking.

Eventually we will all leave this world. I hope his projects and workbench topside are as meaningful as they were down here.

Sorry to hear of Brook's passing. He was in incredibly talented fabricator and welder, I would guess there was very little Brook couldn't make with his own hands. Certainly a character in a sea of interesting characters, Rest in peace Brook, condolences to friends and family.

Regards
John McMichael
