I knew he had cancer, and I've been resigned that it was just a question of waiting for the day that I read the obit, figuring he'd want to do it in his typical low attention style. I'm really glad to read this. The world can't possibly begin to pay him back for what he's done. I guess this trip was his "Hole in the wall Gang " wish.

I've been fortunate enough to actually work for him, and I wish all my clients were half as nice and a quarter as fun.

Heck, being "in the saddle" in his 70's was nothing to him, he won GT-1 races in that Vette when he was 84 (?)......in the RAIN! One of my favorite Lime Rock memories is being on the tower watching him make an outside pass in Big Bend for the lead of a GT1 race in the rain.

Incredible guy, and one who's legacy will live for a long long time. He's one of the few guys that has done so much for so many, and started out like the rest of us. A true role model for all generations.
