Thank you and yes so sad. I am 80 now and remember him well. I used to go to his races. My granddad Billy's Dad was a scorekeeper back then. Their house in Haltom City was set up with an area for working on race cars and an additional large garage. I remember several racecar drivers being there working on their cars.
