We've lost a great one... :'(

[Redman28fanWV]

4m has lost one of its finest posters and the world has lost one of its finest human beings and biggest race fans. Slick01 passed away last night after a battle with cancer. Slick was one of the old school posters who helped make this forum great before it became the wasteland it is now. I met him for the first time at Tyler County for one of the Hillbilly Hundreds and watched many races with him. The last being the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory, NC in 2013. You would have a hard time ever finding a better man! Prayers go out to his sweet wife


R.I.P. Old pal!!!

Got a Pm and text earlier tonight about this and it made me sick. Jeff was such a good old boy and it was a pleasure to have known him and call him a friend. Had some great times with him over the years at the races and will never forget him. God rest your soul old buddy. Praying for his wife Ina. RIP Slick01.

Eric Davis and Family!!!

We have lost a great one is right ! Pray for Ina and family, she lost a great husband. Jeff (slick01) was a great friend. A true example of friendship. His knowledge of racing was amazing. Jeff worked on race teams and was a Racing Fanatic traveling to thousands of races. He worked and helped Gary Bradberry Racing ( ARCA and CUP). Living in South Carolina meant travel. That didn't hold Jeff back. He would drive from SC to Chelsea, Alabama like it was the next town over weekly. What an asset to their operation. Jeff and Ina traveled to 50-60 shows a year. They would hop in the car and do 2000 mile weekend trips following their love of each other and racing. So happy they were able to do the vacation type racing trips together. Jeff was an encyclopedia of racing, a smart man with an amazing knowlege and memory of racing. I'm gonna miss our phone conversations and friendship. Prayers to Ina and family. We have lost a great one!

Man, truly saddened to hear this. I can't say much more beyond the accolades and dedication already written. I can only share that out of all the 4Mers I've met in real life at the races, Jeff and his inseparable wife by far stopped by the most for a BS session. We shared many-a laughs and our unity in racing was cemented early and instantly. They reminded me of back in the NDRA days when getting off work on Friday, packing up the car, chasing racing until Monday morning was all that mattered. Sleep or money was secondary. I can attest, for at least the moments in my knowing them, this is who they were and they did it often long before and after we met.

If anyone knows of an online obit I can pay my respects at, please post it.

My deepest condolences to 'Mrs Slick'. I hope in time the memories of sadness reverse as you remember the wonderful times of racing and all those friends you touched in all your travels. Our lives were made better for having met you both.

Peace be with you.

So sad to hear we've lost Jeff. Lots of memories for close to 30 years. He and Lee are for sure swapping stories up on a cloud right about now. Please lift his sweet Ina up in prayer; they loved each other so very much.

PennDirt, that was a beautiful tribute.
