Hearing of the passing of Slimie has left a large emptiness in my heart. At age 14 I met him and we became good friends. Racing was a part of our lives together. His knowledge and teaching of everything was invaluable to me. I considered him to be like a second father to me. Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to the family. Love, Ray and Elaine Pianka
