It was truly an honor to meet you Maverick and T in my adult life. As a child at local tracks anticipating the next show. Being thrilled to the bone to watch The Little Red Wagon ride wheels up with the fire breathing HEMI. You my friend will be missed. Your dedication to our country's service in the military. And all of the lives that you touched while you where here. I shall not forget the childhood dreams you paved not just a memory but a continuation that anything is possible. Never quit.
Thank you my friend. Thank you. Wheels up!

There is so many groups that will miss him , the A-100, Drag racers, Mopar fans to name a few.
My only regret is we didn't meet sooner. It was a great friendship that I will always remember along with the good times at my shop/house as well at the track and shows.
I hope to get to see him and Theresa one more time. If not GOOD BY OLD FRIEND AND KEEP YOUR WHEELS UP
