Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Bubba

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

Hmmmm...  Thanks for sharing that piece of his life.  I never met willi/bubba in person but we did talk about a problem he had with a car back in the early 2000s.  Then, when my wife died in 2005 he was one of the surprising phone calls I got "just to talk".   He never mentioned his son.

Willi will be missed. The young child with him was their adopted child. Their biological child was murdered while on duty as a police officer many years ago.

Yes George, that was 2000, and I remember meeting and talking with him at Dave & Busters in Indianapolis, if I recall correctly. He was holding what I assumed was his grandchild, a little baby, and found out it was really his own child. I was impressed. :-)

I can't be sure because so many years, and so much *life*, has passed now, but I think I met "Ferrari Bubba" at one of the Indy GP events, 2000 or 2001.

My sincerest condolences to his wife, family, and friends.  No doubt in my mind that he'll be greatly missed.

Very sad here.......
