Jim Pettit and his wife Pat were definitely some of the nicest people that I came across during my racing career. My son used to sit with them in the Antioch grandstand when he was very young, and they always treated him like he was a member of their family.
I pray that the entire Pettit family will be comforted in knowing that Big Jim and Pat are back together again now for eternity, and I send my deepest condolences to them all.

We are so very sad to hear about Jim's passing.
He was a character, I remember him with his
big cigar and his love of his family, wife
and him at the race track. He will be missed for sure .!

Oh my, I am very sad to hear of Big Jim's passing. Fortunately I have many wonderful memories of him through my decades of working for the Seaside Police Department. We towed many a car together. He was very protective of police officers which was truly appreciated.
I was impressed that he and his wife could actually work "work" together and not clobber each other! I always thought, that must be true love and it was. At least now, they are together again.
My condolences to his family.
