To my racing friends, my Dad lost a short battle with cancer and passed away this weekend. Some of my fondest memories of my Dad were working on his Corvette together and competing with him in the Corvette Challenge. He was known for having the most meticulous cars on the East Coast. As I made mods to his car, I would remove parts and hand them to him so he could polish them. He spent many hours with his cars on the lift so he could clean the underside of them.
He retired from racing in 2012 when he still had his 2001 SW C5 and closed his career in fashion by winning the race. He is wearing the white hat in the pic below.
He was unique and will be missed.
We are respecting his wishes in that he wants only a private memorial.

Eric, We are so sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed talking and hanging out with your Dad at the track. He was a great guy! Sincere condolences to your family.
Eric, so sorry to hear the very sad news. Your Dad was a good man and a friend to me. I will always remember the many conversations we had ranging from cars to politics. I always looked forward to seeing him at the track and when he retired from racing it just wasn't the same. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Eric, sorry to hear about your loss. It was always a pleasure to see and talk with your dad at the CC races. He had that soft demeanor and air of respect about him. He will be missed but he is now in a better place.
Very sad news. I have fond memories of racing with your father. I also remember a tough first round loss when he laid a teen light on me with his C4 and ran his number to end my day early. He'll be missed.
My condolences to you and the rest of the family. May he rest in peace
Eric sorry for your loss. You and your Dad always reminded me of my family being at the track together spending quality time. He was a great guy to talk to and race against. Our heart felt condolences, The Cupolo's
WOW, I can't tell you all how sorry I'm to hear of Bill's passing. Bill was what the Corvette Challenge was all about. He always had a smile on his face and a good word for you. A strong competitor who just got better at every race. My condolences to his family. I know he will be missed!
Mariana and myself are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Bill was a true gentleman and a long time and well respected Corvette Challenge racer. He will be missed.
Yes Eric, sincere condolences to you and your family on your father's passing.
Bill was a good guy and I enjoyed seeing you both together at the track. I will miss talking to & "lining up" against Mr Fischer.
True gentleman and class guy.
So sorry about your dad. He will missed. He was always a classy guy while racing or chatting in the pits. May you and your family find peace in knowing that he was respected and loved by his fellow racers.
