Jack Merkel passing

Jack Merkel passed away early last week. I didn't see it posted anywhere here, so I thought I'd pass the sad news around for those who didn't know. He was a longtime engine builder and racer (ran gassers in the early days) out of Long Island, NY. I'm sure many of you guys know all of this. His shop is still open and operated by his sons.
I know when my dad ran small block Chevys back in the 70's & 80's, that's where he took his stuff to get serviced.
