Very well said Greg and so very true.

I was a true fan of Mr. Taugher, and couldn't wait to hear him and Allan do the Sportsman play by play over the NHRA Audiocast. He was to Sportsman Drag Racing, what Al Michaels is to Baseball/Football in my opinion RIP

This is too soon for me again....
What a good good man, Leo always made his way around the pits, he always knew what everyone did, and a little something about our families.
He will surely be missed.
Rest in Peace Great Man.

I am really getting tired of losing people I know well and enjoy being with way before their time.

In many ways, Leo reminded me of Lynne Nickerson - he knew everybody and he really enjoyed announcing class racing. I always enjoyed working a race where either of these fine gentlemen was on the microphone.

Now both are gone, losing their battles with Cancer after a long, hard fight.

RIP Leo, they should have a nice selection of Cadillacs where you are going. And RIP Lynne, we haven't forgotten you.

Well, once again we have lost one of the greats of our sport............. Leo was the King of announcers not only for the sportsman ranks but was doing a great job announcing the Pro's. No one was as close to the Sportsman Racers and Family's as several have mentioned. Always a smile and a great Marine handshake. We were both born in Salem and he was just as great at Quaker City announcing where I began in 1968. Just wish I could see him one more time.....................just like the rest. RIP
