Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Sad News for the Ferrari World

[Adam Green (flatcrank]

Thank you for sharing the story and letting the list know about another
great character in the history of Ferrari.

They say it's all about what we leave behind and you demonstrate that Harold
TC Angel left a significant legacy and will be remembered for a life well
lived.
