Bob Larivee Jr. (JR), 61, of Rochester Hills, Michigan, suffered a massive heart attack and passed away, Sunday, August 26, 2012. Since he was a young man, JR was woven into the fabric of the Autorama and World of Wheels custom car show world with his father, Bob Larivee Sr. As CEO of Champion Auto Shows, Larivee Jr. was a consummate professional who was devoted to his craft, and spent his entire life producing some of the best custom car shows in the country.

“JR was one of the good guys who just got it; he appreciated the cars and cared about people,” said Rick Love, Vintage Air and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) chairman. “Though reserved at times, he always had a smile and was willing to go the extra mile for anyone. He will be truly missed.”

Larivee Jr. is survived by his wife of 31 years, Bonnie, and two girls, Megan Jean and Lindsey Jo. His daughter Kara Joann preceded him in passing. He was the son of Robert and Kathryn Joan Larivee; brother of Lynn Lee (Pete), Janine (Dave) Carlson, Mark (Sheila) Larivee and Tracy Larivee; brother-in-law of David (Nancy), Gary (Tonia) and Robb Nummer; son-in-law of Richard and Rubyjean Nummer; and business partner of Peter Toundas for 20 years.

The funeral was held August 30, 2012, at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church in Rochester Hills. In lieu of flowers, donations to Leader Dogs for the Blind would be appreciated (P.O. Box 5000, Rochester, MI 48308-5000).

	One of the Built From eBay vehicles to be auctioned on eBay for charity is this ’70 Grand Cherokee Commando, built by Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California.

Here’s a different spin on the project-car theme: eBay, in association with Source Interlink Media (SIM), has partnered with four garages to build four distinctly different vehicles. As the four are being completed, they are being voted on by visitors to a build-specific website (www.builtfromebay.com), where they will ultimately choose their favorite. When the vehicles are completed, they will be auctioned off on eBay, and the proceeds will go to four affiliated charities. The unique caveat is that each vehicle will have been purchased on eBay and all of the parts—vintage and new alike—will also have been acquired on eBay.

The campaign is called Built From eBay. Team captains from the four SIM publications selected the four garages, said Matt Boice, vice president of the Enthusiast Media Group of Source Interlink Media. Hot Rod magazine selected Mackey’s Hot Rods in Huntington Beach, California, to complete a ’68 Chevrolet G20 van supporting The Semper Fi Fund. Four Wheeler selected Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California, to build its ’70 Grand Cherokee Commando supporting the California Trail Users Coalition. European Car chose GSR Autosport in Lake Forest, California, to build a ’84 Porsche 911 supporting SEMA Cares. And Lowrider chose Duran’s Quality Painting in Baldwin Park, California, to complete a ’66 Chevrolet El Camino supporting the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The vehicles will be on display at the SEMA Show within the DUB Live area of the Outdoor Front Silver Lot.
