Bob Reuther, "Gang can fix anything"

Bob Reuther
My grandfather, Bob Reuther ("Gang" to me, "Bullet Bob" to old school racIng fans) passed away early this morning. I don't have a lot to say on the subject right now because I'm still processing it, but I'm hoping someone will write some awesome article for The Tennessean in the next day or three. Gang was something of a local celebrity because he was a race car driver in the 50's, and he was also just an all around cool guy. As well as a bit of a wild man.

NOTE: I didn't take the above picture - I found it here.

UPDATE/3:45 p.m.: After receiving a call from a friend who said he'd heard about my grandfather on the radio, I checked the internet and found this: Nashville racing legend dies
