RIP Jeff Velde
With a heavy heart! I just wanted to let everyone know that my uncle Jeff Velde passed away late last night after a long and hard fought battle with cancer. He touched a lot of people in the racing world and he will be truly missed! Rest in peace Jeffrey! When I get more info about the services I will post.

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
My condolences to the whole Velde family as Jeff was one of the first advertisers of my stats and even though he was advertising the dealership and knew it didnt do much good. He always supported the stats since day one, He took me through the dealership one time when i was down there staying over the winter, he was a great guy. RIP Jeff
Here was one of his latest projects i seen at Orlando this past spring.

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
This is truely sad to hear. After seeing that red 68 Mustang run in the mid 70's I knew as a 20 year old that I wanted to be a super stocker and Jeff Velde was my Idol for many years. My condolence to the Velde family my thoughts and prayers are with you.
RIP Jeff Velde

Re: RIP Jeff Velde
Thanks for the post Bret, I had been trying to got ahold of Jeff for a couple of months and especially the last couple of weeks to see how he was getting along. He was pretty worried when I talked to him in June. Our condolences go out to Pat and all of his family. We will miss him! Jerry
