I stole this (with permission) from Greg Vogel. A man who has sleeplessly provided parts for the B13 SE-R community for many years.

Today the Nissan/Datsun Community has lost a great man, and a lifelong supporter. Fred Jordan passed away today. He was the first Sales Manager at the 1st Datsun dealer in the United States, San Diego Datsun. He was instrumental in getting these strange new cars accepted by the public and never lost his love for them. He and his wife Betty tireless worked to promote car shows, events and finally the Datsun Heritage Museum in Murrieta, CA. He was truly one of the kindest men I have ever known. When the dealer in Temecula, CA needed a parts manager, he told them they needed to hire me. It was instrumental in my move to this area, and a blessing in my life. While my time with that company didn't last, my friendship with Fred will last forever in my heart. Rest In Peace Fred, we love you and will miss you.

Thank you for posting this.
always sad to hear stories like this... but he did live a decent life and did what he enjoyed. That is all any of us can wish for
