Wasted Willie Glass

[Joe Timney]

Willie Glass passed away yesterday, following a brain injury from a fall down the stairs at his home this passed week. Arrangements have not been confirmed at this time. I'm sure he is sitting with Zora Arkus-Duntov, telling him how he SHOULD have built the Ardun heads! And Doug King would be sitting along side agreeing with Willie.

Willie, RIP. We will miss you

OUR Friend, Wasted Willie Glass:   My husband, Kenny Kloth kept saying that he was going to call you on the phone because he haden't heard from you for some time and loved the hour converations which you both had from time to time. They always had the work "FLATHEAD" and 'ARDUN' in the subject manner. We will miss you dearly, but will see you again in the here-after.  Kenny and Barbara Kloth

I hung out witth Willie a few years ago when he was still piloting the Roadster. He was talking then about having EJ drive for him when the `big` engine was in the car....He was a great character, a wealth of information, opinion and loved life.....Farewell, Willie--you`ll be able to pilot that `big` engine now..

Every year Willie would call me to make sure he had a spot to leave his trailer at Land's End (so that he could be first in line when we opened the salt), and every year the answer was the same..."I've reserved a spot for your trailer, Willie, it's right in front of my motorhome!"  His answer was always the same too, "Thankya Suga' I'll be seein' ya in a few days!  Take care now, ya hear?"

This year, the space will be there for you Willie, just like I promised.  I'm really going to miss you!  God Speed.
