Joe-
Brizz's (John) reply surprised me, too. One would think that he would have posted something a little more meaningful and appropriate for this topic.

Just fair warning - This is a topic that if you do not treat with respect will get you banned from this forum forever.

I'm sure he meant that it will be great to see all of the people that cared for Gene and see his memorial.

It's Christmas Eve and you guys just need to calm down.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there. It's very beautiful, they did a wonderful job.

[jplracing]

If I knew how to post a pic of it I would....it is very well done.

[froth]

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. We can see friends, and celebrate the life that while all to brief, was extremely well lived.

Remember the words of Gen. Patton. Something to the effect that we should not so much mourn the fact that he died, but celbrate and be thankful that such a young man lived.

Just a thought.

[Raggedy]

That is simply amazing......

[Wild Cheetah 612]

That headstone is beautiful and thought provoking! A gorgeous piece of art by which to remember him.

[hcr25]

amazing headstone! kinda resembles the picture in my avatar.

[Ray-Ray]

WOW!!!

[Wahooman]

I will echo Ray-Ray.....WOW! Very moving piece of art. I plan to be there.

[jenners225]

Wow, its breathtaking! I would love to say it captures his spirit even. I don't know how to post pictures but it reminds me of one I have seen frequently of him, I'm sure you all know the one!

[-puck-]

That is the most beautiful and fitting headstone I think I have ever seen for any particular individual. Really, if Gene were looking down and could outright pick it himself, I think it would be just that. His family has honored him well with such a wonderful piece of art.

I'm so glad to have known you for the short time I did bro....

[Lel399]

it is awesome looking!

That is Very Cool !! Shows Gene's sharp focus
before the race.

[KipBook]

That is the most beautiful and inspiring headstone I have ever seen. I may not have known Gene very well, but all of you who did, keep remembering him at the track and in this forum. I enjoy reading and hearing all the stories and learning just how wonderful Gene is. Even though he may not be with us physically, it is evident to me that his spirit lives on in all of your memories. It's great.

What a perfect reminder of Gene. Has anyone contacted Ulrich/RWMT to have this event & memorial put in the magazine?

[jplracing]
