Re: Such a huge loss.....Peter Simpson has passed on.
I met Peter at SCR a few years ago and got to spend the dinner across from him and his family. I've read of his exploits over the years and followed his posts over the last decade. I don't think you ask for a better role model for what a car guy should be. Plus he seemed to be firing on all cylinders as a dad and husband as well. I know that having his car stolen and having to pay ransom was a huge violation and took the wind out of his sails for a while, but in hindsight its a hell of a story and will only burnish his legacy as the rest of us tell the tales of COPO PETE. I did not know the man well, but I knew enough to see a life well lived. Live Big, Live Bold, and live GENEROUSLY. Like Peter did.
RIP Mr. Simpson.
