Re: More than sorry to say we have lost Bill Pomponi
I knew/met Bill way back from his days as a youngster...growing up in Brewster Heights,Brewster ,New York...he used to "tag along" (Dover Drag Strip) in the early days with a very good longtime friend of mine Harold "Tink" Schaefer...he (Tink)...one of the very sharpest knives in the drawer both as a drag racer & engineer I've ever known... young Bill always had the ever-ready smile...evident too from our first "meeting"...he was one brilliant "cat"...and "special" person...later...his military & vocational career evidence of that...a fine longtime drag racer as well...e-mailed back & forth with him six months or so ago...a truly fine person who will be missed by many...our prayers are with Billy jr,family...God Speed...Drake Viscome & family
