Word is that a tree trimming accident was the cause. I will post an obituary when available.

Racing is all about winning now but I wouldn't trade those years for all the Wally's in the world. I think I still have a famous green and white class winner tee shirt.(several sizes to small). God Bless Hemmy Denny. Get that track prepped up there so when we come visit we can race again. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time
