    For those of you who know my father, it is with great sadness that I report his passing. He was a great all around guy. The attached pictures are of the beginnings and ends of his love affair with all things Ferrari. Even as he was losing his battle, he was planning his next track event. Thank you to all who made them so much fun for him!!

    thank you all. Dad bought the SWB in 1065 from Bob Grossman, it was one of 3 Sebring Specials, I understand a precursor to the SEFAC hotrods. He loved that car. I have pictures of him at PBIR (and Moroso), Sebring and on the banks of Dayton in that car. Personally, I liked the 1980 308 that I had keys to as a teenager :). I think the thing that struck me the most were his stories. We would go to Cavalino together whenever I could get off work. He would walk up to a car and have a story about seeing it race somewhere. It was not unusual to see him telling owners stories about their cars, and there were quite a few "really??" moments from them. Although as time progressed, and history became more and better documented, there were fewer of them, but he did bring it to life. I miss him terribly.
