        Jim started driving in '83 which was my first year in the promoting biz. I knew him from his time as a crew member and a frequent participant at after race parties.

        Three years ago I started talking to him again via FB... he was the guy who did the cranks at Roush. Gave me a lot of pride when he told me he thought my Torino was one of the best built sportsman cars running at Hales Corners in 81/82...

        His funeral will be in Lincolnton, NC this Friday with a Wisconsin memorial later.
