Gene Waxman Passes

I am sorry to post that Gene Waxman passed way today. Gene fought the good fight but this morning lost his battle with Congestive Heart Failure. Most of you who have been racing a while are familiar with Gene. Gene was one of those guys who knew everyone and everyone knew him. His long detailed stories and humor will be greatly missed. I will try and post details of his service.

I will never forget Indy 1990 when at dinner at Steak 'n Ale he convinced the rather nice looking manager that he was legally blind and she kept taking him arm in arm to and from the salad bar. She came over after taking him several times and asked why he left a trail of croutons from the salad bar back to where he was seated, he told her it was so he could find his way back just in case she didn't come back for him again. God Speed my friend. Jim
