    Well lets mark his passing with positve thoughts of his character, and contribution.
    It's really not that sad when someone who lives a full life passes away at 86.
    In fact both of my parents passed away in 2007 at the age of 86.
    My mother being one week short of her 87th birthday!
    The words of "The Bard" from the play Julius Caesar are ones that help put these things into perspective
    "What is death, but part of life?"
    The last part!
    Cheers
    RIP
    May the forza be with you

    A stubborn old b on the wrong side, but a lot of today's sport has been influenced by the groundwork in the late 80s/early 90s of Balestre and the FIA. I doubt it would have got half the attention it did as a sport back then.

    Him and big Ken T can have a biffo as to who is in charge up there now...
