RIP Bill , a great guy to chat with,although not often enough. Condolences to family and friends.


Bill has been not only a big supporter of our "Indiana Open Wheel Kokomo Smackdown awards" and also very generous in contributing to it as well. Last year he made the first donation to the fund,shown here in the accompanying photo. Today I texted Bob and Monica while I was at work and asked them that instead of doing the Smackdown awards this year,why dont we collect money for a In Memory of Bill Gardner fund instead. That was ok with them. Monica said she would have the Indiana Open Wheel bucket out this weekend. I'll start it off with $100.00
