Ron Garey passed
 
Sorry to say that my father passed last night in his sleep

his advice to me as a teen ager was:

2 kinds of people "parts replacers" and mechanics, so be a mechanic.

We are very sorry to hear about your dad. Mr. Garey was an incredibly tough racer. Growing up watching him compete and eventually getting to race with him, we learned a lot about "racing hard." We have wondered about him over the years and always hoped he would make a return to the sport. God Speed RG!

My deepest sympathies to your family. I fondly remember many National Trail races with the Chesrown Olds. Ron was an exceptional racer, God Speed.

Chuck, I’m so sorry for your loss. I loved hanging out with your dad, Tony Cowell, and Bill Robinson. He was such an interesting guy and a very good racer. I haven’t seen him in probably 15 years, but I was talking to a friend from Texas about him last week. They broke the mold when they made Ron Garvey.

It's hard to find an Oldsmobile racing article that doesn't mention Ron. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

Re: Ron Garey passed
 
So sorry to hear about your loss Chuck, Don and Jim. I spent a good part of my childhood with Ron and Pug at the garage and house. Also many Sunday mornings at Dennys. He was a great teacher. I remember a time at Texas Raceway your dad saw me slamming the brakes at the traps. When I got back to the pits he let me know that if I kept that up I could lock it up and end up on my top one day. From then on I dialed tight ran pedal to the metal and tried to win every race at the tree. The mold is broken.
