Remembering.....
 

I have started a TRIBUTE page on my site for the people that were involved with our sport that have passed away.

http://sharkey-images.com/tributes.html

If anyone has any contributions they would like to add to the page or the individuals that are already there whether it be photos or a story you would like to reflect on, please feel free to contact me and I will add it to the page..

Thanks in advance for any help you may have to offer...

Not limited to racers only.

Anyone that was involved with Hi-Performance boats I guess is where I can draw the line for now...

MarylandMark,

Any photos and information you can provide me with would be great. I would be glad to add them to the website.

Thanks!

Great idea Tim. We have lost some good people.

Does anybody have a picture of Clark Donley? One great guy that died racing.

Thanks for the pics !

They will be added to his page.

Glassdave,

See if you can provide me with their real "full names" and I will get them added. Jennifer's last name escapes me at the moment... Perhaps OSO Admin can help if he has them in the OSO data base?

Mark, Thanks for the links ! That helps a great deal...


Anyone have the name of the guy that died from his accident with his Spectre? He owned the restuarants called "Fishbone"

George Morales
Hurley Stepp

Jennifer Cohen - was her married name not sure if she went by her maiden name...

Yes you are correct and last I remember she was still using the Coen name.

I remember.... Jennifer Quinn

and a picture

Someone for you.

Often wonder how different my life would have been if I had never met the man. Met my wife while I was with him in Milwaukee.

Anybody remember Kevin Brown ? He Lived in Cleveland, Lost his Life in a race in Jersy in the mid to late 80's flipped a 30' Skater ... A good friend..I know Ron Poli remembers..I think it was 1986 ?

Tim,
Great idea and what you have looks great so far. Keep up the good work and see you in A/C.

Tim Walters of Erie Stinger P5-88, I was racing in mentor that day.

YEP Great people..I've taken a ride in the blue ranger..sweet...

I was on the Saftey patrol for that race it was a shock.. Scott the navigator is a good friend too...

Thank you everyone for the support in the Tribute page.

I have 28 names so far. If anyone can supply a photo of the ones that are missing, that would be great. Once caught up, I'll try researching each person so I have some information on them as well. It is great even to just have their name and a picture so that so many people can put a face to the name.

Thank you all once again !


SpeedGirl Glassdave THANK YOU !!! :)

I still have to find pics for many others if anyone else knows where I may find some.

For the people that I can establish enough photos and information on, here is what I decided to do.

I am building a Blog page for them.

Examples:
http://doug-lewis.blogspot.com/

http://rick-holsomback.blogspot.com/

http://scott-rogers.blogspot.com/

This way should someone that visits the page cares to leave a comment they will be able to. If they have a few photos that they would like to share they can be emailed to me and I will upload them to the individual's page.

Thank you all for the tremendous support in this effort.

How about Gene Whipp?

Here's one like I found and a picture, though I'm sure there are much better pictures around. Gene is on the left.
