Bootsie was a funny man in some ways. He would hang out at H&E while some of us worked on the race car. He had this very loud laugh. Once he let me ride on his old Harley Davidson with a suicide shift to the Southside Speedway race and my old man wanted to beat my ass for ridding with him. When Bootsie would sleep after working all night delivering milk Mike would take his GTO for a ride.

Bottsie you will be missed by a lot of people. Especially Dick Anderson and your famous green beans over the hood. There are so many memories and they all come back to me. Thanks for them all!
