I am sitting here balling my eyes out...literally! I actually just left a message on his cell phone and then came in here to leave him a message!

I was supposed to get in touch with him last week and would have if I hadn't been so busy with work. I had something to send him.

I can't describe what a great person he was to me. Very sad news for us indeed.....

If anyone knows of any additional information please send me an email at olsonar (at) cox (dot) net. I would like to know about plans and funeral info. as he was only about 3 hours away from me (if he was still in Lititz, PA).

Thanks,
Alan

This is an excerpt from the condolences written by a lady for AJ. I don't know her but what she has said is profound. What a legacy.

"....his good works changed the lives of many. I was truly fortunate to have such a man as a model in my life."

WOW! I couldn't believe what I was reading about AJ! He was the first person I met here at RFJ,he helped me start sim racing and painted my first car for me. AJ called me one day to let me know he was driving up to Adirondack Speedway to watch my sons race, I was so excited and looking forward to meeting him but something came up and he wasn't able to make it. I never got to meet him. AJ bro you had a huge influence on me here at RFJ and in life and you always will! I will never forget you!!

WOW I will b prayin for his family. I wish i new him more but the time that i did get to race here AJ was a great guy What a great blessing he is to Heaven Will miss u AJ!

It's been a while since I last viewed the forum, or the RFJ site for that matter, and sad to hear of his passing. Makes me want to look back at any NR2003 practice sessions I was in when he was riding around to re-live his racing. This site was a blessing to me years ago when I needed it. I'll be praying for family, friends, and this site. Peace be with you all.
