His cars were extremely clean and fast for the class. He had a blue and silver 55 4 door SS/PA and a black 56 2 door SS/OA. Very nice guy with tons of knowledge. Talked way over my head. Fierce competitor and passionate about drag racing. He passed away around the age of 35 from some form of leukemia from what I remember.

I bought the 56 2 Dr Business Coup from his widow. Barry Raichin (who still owns a 55 4dr SS OA the Go Army car) saw an add for it. I basically cleaned out their garage and got everything I could carry and brought it back to Canada with my trailer. I think I sold it and have lost track it.
