You still owe me for that Cadillac front end. You can show me around next time I see you. Getting old sucks.

Damn Peewee it's been 11 years. It seems like it was just a couple weeks ago we were racing on our motorcycles from Aberdeen Barn to the Lazy Horse. You are still very much remembered. Plus you still owe me for that Cadillac front end.

Unbelievable....that's what we thought, when we heard the news. Unforgettable....that's what he was! PeeWee always was a hard & fast whirlwind- that's how he lived-life to the fullest, never holding back. But he always showed care & concern to his friends and he truly loved his family. We know you all miss him already. He will always be missed here at Sadisco. RIP no. 110084!

Dear Family of Peewee, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Peewee for many, many, years. We went to school together and had many, many fun times in the Deep Creek area. I could always call Peewee or Michael J for help on any car I owned and they always knew how to fix it or were I could get the part to have it fixed.
Dear Michael J I am sor sorry for your loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you also.
Jason and Christy I can still remember when you two where born your Daddy was just beside himself. He loved the two of you so very much. Also he was a very proud granddaddy. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please have your Mom (Kathy) call me. (804)740-3521
May memories bring you comfort in this time of grief.

Pee Wee (pfw) was one crazy guy and funny guy. He always mad me laugh. I really enjoyed talking to him at the track. I really loved it when he rollen thru the pits laying on that horn. You didn'y even have to look you knew it was Pee Wee. I will miss him. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Peewee was a crazy you know what on the track. We only knew him from Northeast Dragway as fellow racers. But when he pulled in the gate blowing his horn you had to smile. But he would always say or do something to make you laugh. He will not be forgotten.
