brianbuck 928 Posted August 9, 2021 This is indeed very sad news. I never knowingly met him, but had occasion to write to him numerous times and always received a courteous response by return. My sincere condolences to his family on their loss. His contribution to speedway and to the Speedway Star has been invaluable, and will be sadly missed. Rest on the peace of the Lord old friend. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OveFundinFan 4,145 Posted August 9, 2021 That’s sad, only known of him since I started on this forum, but probably seen his name in various speedway publications.. He has obviously contributed a lot to speedway and had a lot of knowledge, that I could tell.Condolences to his family, relatives and friends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
