This is terrible news!! Another friend taken by that terrible disease cancer. I'm thankful to IOW and Frank Daigh for giving me the chance to meet and get to know Joe Ott. He was a great race fan and an even better man. I remember the first time met him, this guy from Arizona and right after hearing his first sentence, I remember saying to him, "Man, you're not from Arizona, you're from Long Island." He said, "It's that obvious, huh?"

I'll certainly miss him. Especially when Sprint Week and Smackdown roll around every year. I pray for strength for Lucy and the rest of the family.

Jerry
