WELCOME TO THE ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN CAR CLUB
The best little car club in Arizona!
Joe Burick
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of longtime club member Joe Burick, who passed away yesterday with his wife Fran by his side.
Joe was an enthusiastic supporter of the club and its Cruiz’n to the Lakes car show and a phenomenal fundraiser. During his time serving as the club’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Joe’s skills and tenacity helped raise nearly $15,000 in sponsorship fees in a single year—a remarkable contribution that benefited the club and its mission in lasting ways.
Joe also played a key role in helping guide the club through its incorporation as a nonprofit organization in late 2018 and early 2019, lending his time, experience, and dedication to ensure the future strength of the club.
W
e all knew Joe as one of the club’s biggest Corvette fans, but his interests reached far beyond cars. He also loved airplanes, boats, and motorcycles, truly embracing a life driven by passion and adventure.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Fran and the Burick family during this difficult time. Joe will be deeply missed and fondly remembered,
Jim Koialovitch
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our longtime member, Jim Koialovitch, who passed away unexpectedly this past Thursday.
Jim was an active and dedicated member of the club for many years. He generously volunteered his time, supported countless events, and was always willing to lend a hand wherever it was needed.
His presence and friendship will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Juanita, and to the rest of his family during this difficult time.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers
