So sorry for you and your families loss. Definitely going to miss you at the races. One of the best Nascar racing neighbors ever!
Reading this obituary is reminiscent of our son’s situation. He was diagnosed with ALS at age 41 and passed away two years later. ALS is a terrible disease. It’s difficult to lose a loved one in this matter but we can rest assured that they are now in a better place, freed from the effects of this devastating disease. Please accept my sympathy to your entire family.
