Hello everyone. Haven't really been on lately but wanted to let all of dad's racing friends and family know that he has really taken a turn for the worse in the last three weeks. I was out of the country for a few weeks in SE Asia and upon returning home this Wednesday, dad has been getting increasingly worse with each passing day.
He is now residing at Heartland of Greenville in room 39. The physical address is 243 Marion Drive Greenville, Ohio 45331 and anyone who would like to stop by and visit may. I know he would really enjoy seeing everyone again as it doesn't appear that dad will ever drive, walk nor visit a karting track again.
Kart racing was his life and the thing he enjoyed the most. Most dad's take their kids fishing or to a zoo but my dad took me racing every since we moved back to Ohio in 1988. He loved the smell of the track, the challenge of the kart and meeting all the people we've met over our years in the sport. I think he enjoyed flagging the KOC races in N. Carolina and at Wayne County Speedway more than wrenching on my kart though.
It just seems to me that we often wait until someone in our sport passes to show them how much they meant to us and I'd like to give dad the feeling of friendship in his final few months, weeks or days here with us. So if your schedule permits and if you happen to find yourself in the local Greenville area, please stop on by and say hello to Butch, Butchy, Paul, or Mr. Wysong as some of you may have called him over the years.
He's been loosing an average of 10 pounds per day and his memory is beginning to go at a rapid pace now. It's my wish to get him to the next BMI race, if at all possible, as I know it will be his last. Thanks Dad and everyone else for all the memories on and off the track.
God Speed Butchy83!
