That's terrible news, so sad; and explains why he had the car up for sale.
Always liked a quick chat with him in the Fire-up lanes.
Sincere condolences to all his family, he will be missed.........

I'm really sorry to hear this. I knew about Pete's illness about 2 years ago. I never realised it was so far advanced. I spoke with him recently about him selling his car and said it might be better to wait until spring. Hey Pete if your listening up there - I'm really glad you got that 11 sec run you always wanted. RIP.

Jim told me earlier today, very sad, I met him a few times in the fire up lane, pushed him a couple of times.
Hope his wife and family are coping ok.
Is it ok to suggest that we might have a collection and send flowers to the service from the club?
