After not having had contact with him for a couple years, I wrote him an e-mail on December 26th just to touch base. Now I know why he didn't answer.
I've missed him in oAo. He ultimately had to quit due to physical decline -- and that hurt him deeply. For the few seasons he drove with us, he was a hell of a driver. He was also a great guy and a great team mate.
Raise a glass, guys.
