He should have been 80 yrs old today, hard to believe he's been gone over 20 years...he's missed out on a lot...

That is a long time John. Our fathers had a lot in common but didn't really talk much intil late in life. I think they saw each other in a place in Oldwick???

Great Flemington memories. Always tough to lose a parent but all you can do, as the back of the 301 reminded us, is "Keep Her Lit".

A Great Guy...Quite a caractor too.. One night after Flem we were all in the Circle Diner..Craig and his group was leaving and he comes to our table and kneels down to talk to me about Cams or Chassis..Short while he leaves and not long after our table erups in a giant smoke cloud...He stuck a smoke bomb on a cigerette and placed it under our table while we were talking...We got thrown out for doing it...Thanks Craig..Wish you were here to do more of that kinda stuff again...HtH

Hey John,

It's hard to believe your dad has been gone 20 years. Way too soon. It brings back great memories hanging with him and your entire family. Heading to the Circle Diner after a night of racing, talking shop and busting each other's chops! The 70's was a great time to be racing, especially at Flemington. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to know him.....
