Okay, I realize he was 97, but, come ON! That makes how many "big names" in the last 10 days or so???

Omar Bradley in Patton. The look on his face in the strafing scene in North Africa...

Streets of San Francisco...

Two of my favorite things he did

I had no idea he was 97! Wow - what a good innings! I loved that guy! What a dry wit and manner about him. We could use a whole lot more of his ilk!

Moderators Note.

Gentlemen,

The off-topic section of the Ford GT forum is pretty much anything goes except for politics. In general however, I don't believe that the daily obituary section that we appear to have added lately adds a whole lot to this Forum. If Dan Gurney, Roger Penske, or Mario Andretti left us unexpectedly, it would surely be a worthy topic here. But a daily running death tally of every barely recognizable individual runs pretty far afield from what most of us want to see when we log on here.

Let's leave the obituary section in the newspaper. Thanks.

Chip
