Rest In Peace Grumpy! I remember meeting him and talking 5-10 mins with him. Grumpy was only a nickname, nice guy.

A true legend who will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Grump. We are losing legends at entirely too quick a clip.

First saw him race Ronnie Sox in the late 60's in a match race at the old Keystone Drag Strip outside of Pittsburgh. He took 2 out of 3 that night.

Godspeed Grumpy and I know they allow cigars in Heaven!

 

[Pete]

Rest in peace Bill. Thank you for ALL of the memories over the years! Godspeed

 

[Gordon]

Rest in Peace & Godspeed, Grump, we'll miss ya!!

 

[Buns]

Very sad. You're a legend, Grump!

 

[Jeff]

Sad.

If there is Pro Stock in Heaven (and I sure hope there is!), the field just got tougher!

 

[Professor Dave]

There are still a bunch of comp racers with his motors and for the most part, they are bad-ass cars!

 

[chop]

Very sad news and I hope that he didn't suffer. RIP & GODSPEED GRUMP.

 

[sparky]

Let's hope he enjoyed a few final cigars. RIP, Grumpy!

 

[DrRocket]

I'll really miss the sight of him standing at the starting line, writing in that little notebook.

RIP Grump.

Another great legend gone. I always loved watching "Grumpys" cars running.

So sad to hear this, he had a heck of a ride. I'll never forget some of our talks over a cocktail or two......

RIP Bill,
