“So sorry to hear. What a character he was, always cheerful. Very fashionable, his racing suit was half black half whitte when everyone else had solid colors. Also his his cat was V0 again very original. As a child I remember him & his wife & son along with their pet skunk would come to visit our family & come to our Christmas Eve parties (the good ole days). He always stopped in when he got up to PA to visit. He was a good guy.”
