Wow, too bad. he was one of my hero's and one reason I didn't mind when
people started calling me Dyno Don. I took pride in the fact that I
could shift a stick almost as well as he could.
I watched him drive at Indy for The Nationals against others I respect
like Arnie Beswick. As recent as a couple of years ago I think, the two
of them were still doing grudge exhibition matches for more money than
they ever made back in the 60's.
The Alzheimers must have taken him quickly.
I had an uncle die from it, wasn't pretty.
