Richard kudner condolence

What a fascinating man. I´ve been a "Champion Man" my whole life and now I know why! His genius provided me a lifetime of dependable spark plugs. Thank you, Mr. Kudner. I wish we could have met.

Dick Kudner is as fine a gentleman as I have ever known or worked with. I was not lucky enough to spend my Clark Lake years with him. Rest in peace Dick. Jack Garwood Jack Garwood
