This is.....wow.....

Many people have bashed the man in the last 24 months. His speed in cars these days, his personal life, etc...

I remember the man as a kid. I met him twice, aged 9 and 13. At age 13, the first thing he said was "William, isnt it? You visited me at oran park in the mobil sierra, right?"..... How the heck could a man with so many fans remember?

I got diabetes in 1997, late september. Dad had organised for us all to go to bathurst to see his last race. Adversely because of this, we missed his last race.

My uncle wrote to him to explain this, and I got a letter from him with a signed shirt, saying that he was sad for my health and was I wasnt there to say goodbye, but that life was about more than seeing "just a race" and that he knew I could get through the tragedy and make my life something special.....

I still have this letter and shirt. The man cared SO MUCH about his fans and was an amazing human....

Was.... he still is. He is....

Peter, not many people can bring a grown man to tears, but you have. Blessed be, and let us hope his family and friends can get through this. We all love you.
