I'm so sorry for the loss of a great father, husband, grandfather and friend. The world will not be same without him. I have known him since I was 5 years old. He taught me how to race and how to win. He taught me about hard work and life. Growing up next door to him was a blast, I loved racing and he pushed me all the time to go faster. He wasn't afraid to cut my behind a couple of times for doing wrong when my dad wasn't around! Most of all he was my friend. I am most thankful though for Miss Bertha's persistance in getting him saved and baptized. It took her over 30 years but she did it and now he gets to spend eternity with God our father. She is truely a saint on earth. Go #4!
