I guess it’s possible that the obit on [Legacy.com](http://Legacy.com) refers to him, but I am positive that he didn’t live in NJ.  
I suppose it is possible that he moved from Ohio to NJ very late in life, but…

I think you’re looking at the wrong one. See:

Thank you. Yes, I think that this one is likely the correct obit for the late Mr. Meehan. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for the link. I had been wondering. That is the problem with “internet friends”, you never know what happened to them when they are not posting any more.  
May he rest in piece.

Seems to me he was a VW Golf owner or something like that.

I recall that he was a long-term VW owner. I think that his experience stretched from Beetles to Golfs.

If I recall right, he had a Beetle Turbo. It came up when people were trying to classify cars as “chick” cars.
