A sad day this past weekend. I picked this up from the FOT list. In Grattan 
Michigan we lost a true friend of triumph racing "new blue," his Tr4.

Uncle Jack was a very supportive figure in the current Triumph racing 
fraternity and for triumph lovers all over who drive their cars. He was 
instrumental in some of the recent updates for our cars and was always willing 
to help out a fellow triumph guy. He was a true friend of the hobby and for 
those who worked with and knew him well including his family I extend my 
condolences. I spoke with Uncle Jack several times over the phone and entrusted 
some "custom" work to him a few years ago. He was one of the special people you 
meet in life and are thankful for them. I still have the scribbled recipe I 
transcribed while speaking to him over the phone. It was a basic recipe for a 
fast street TR3/4/4A motor. He insisted I refer to him as Uncle Jack even 
though we never met face to face and told me to call anytime. That and many 
other stories from all the others he helped in this hobby is why we are lucky 
to have had him. 

Gods Speed Uncle Jack
