Gary: So sad for you. Losing someone so special is SO hard, something I don't think any of us are ever really ready for. I'll say a little prayer for you.

VERY sorry to hear about your dad. We have some very good memories of the good old days at OCIR with Jim and his Mustang.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Mike,

Dad and I spoke often about you and how hard you & BJ worked running the stocker back then. He kept telling me I was crazy building a stick shift class car and would always remind me how much $$ and effort you had to put into it (that's what dad's are for, right?). Like he did with his job, he put 110% into the club too. But I could never convince him of his legacy's value by other WF team members.

He certainly had a heart of gold. I'll forever cherish the memories we all had back then.
