Budah passed away

I just read on another site that Jack Bailey AKA Budah passed away in his sleep. Jack has been sick off and on for a while. I talked to him about a month ago and he had just gotten home from the hospital and he told me if his wife had waited another 20 minutes to get him there he would have never made it. He had an unbelievable amount knowledge on motors and was really upset about not being able to work on them himself anymore because of his health.

Re: Budah passed away

He was a character, I spoke to him on the phone several times when Ian was having new cams built by him, I think he knew how to weave a good tale, but seemed to be a good guy. I did not know he had health problems, it is sad to hear this, best wishes to his family.
