Need Help With Funeral Expenses

[Jim Fenton]

That urn is great . Good job Darren . How are the donations going ? Did all of the promised money come in ? How much more is needed ?

No, we still haven’t received all donations that were promised however WE DID RECEIVE ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL! (Your check was received today AJ so thanks again!)

Thanks so much again to all who graciously donated to this cause. We all know that times are tough and it’s sometimes difficult to impossible to consider giving in these situations so we’re very grateful to all that helped us get this done.

Another classic example of the racing community coming together for one of their own during one of our most difficult economic times.

A big tip of the hat also is in order to R.M. ‘Whitey’ Wescott for stepping up to the well early on for the entire amount in this situation in order to get things off-center and underway.

To those friends of Al that learned of his passing late and are still writing and trying to help, please know that we have reached our goal and we appreciate your effort and sincerity.

More excerpts from positive personal testimonials that are still arriving for this man:

From Pati:

"Jim; I was a friend of Al's way back in 52. He was a GREAT friend to Wayne Saunders, Frank Stiles and me. We had great times in Wayne 's Model T (or was it A) with the rumble seat. Al's life had some tragedies back then. His Mom and Dad died in an auto accident, and his sister, I think her name was Karen, was killed by her husband. God, how I loved Al! I went with Wayne and remember saying I only went with Wayne to be around Al.

Can I still donate? Just got the news this evening, Friday. I would have driven to St. Pete today for the services."

From Monkey:

Hi there, I was out of town when Al died. I was a classmate of his and until recently, I was in charge of our class directories and locating classmates. I was once a big race fan way back when. I didn't realize that Al owned Billy Hancock's car.

Let me know how and where. I was known as Monkey all my life and raised in Pinellas Park and still go by Monkey.

If you are still taking donations, I would like to contribute. Just let me know how and where.

Thanks for doing this for him and giving us, his friends, a way of saying good-bye.

Thanks again everyone!

Hello

Oh my goodness, you are all so kind. Thank you for your helping and great advice. I'm waiting to find out what funeral home they are going through but I don't want to bother the family right now. That will probably be the best resource. Thank you!
