Thank you for being the best father a son could ask for. I was there for your drag racing and you were there when I won the series championship at Gainesville Raceway. My proudest moment was when you were there to see me accept the trophy. I wish I could see you in person to see me graduate from college, but I know you'll be there in spirit. I will see you again.

I remember W B from NMHS. He was a quiet kind of guy, If you spoke to him he was always polite. I never heard anything bad about him in our High School years. Condolences to all his family and friends.

W.B. was one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting while at the race track. He would always smile and say hi. He will be missed.

What a great guy "W.B.". If there ever was a "tell it like it is" person "W.B." was it. I'm glad "W.B." shared some of his time
with me and I'll personally never forget the situations we found
ourselves in on the back roads of Marion County. And, they always
turned out in our favor. Condolences to everyone that was close to
"W.B.".
