I never saw him race or met him that I know of but a lot of great old racing stories float around this town include his name.

Snooky's obituary didn't mention any details of his racing career, but Mike Blake had a nice tribute on WFIE on the 6:00PM news. Tom Helfrich had some interesting comments. Snooky had an astounding number of consecutive feature wins in Dan Tucker's #76 sprint car, thirteen in a row, I believe. They showed Snooky on the newscast with the G2 coupe with Double Cola sponsorship on the door. I didn't remember him driving that car. I always associated that car with Don Nordhorn. The G2 was owned by Gordon Ghormley, hence the G2 designation. It was also mentioned that Snooky came from a family of fifteen children. RIP, Snooky
