Folks, this is a message I do not want to type.
I called Tony Howell and left a message on his home phone Saturday, wondering where he, his better half and Floyd were. I thought it was strange not to have heard from either Tony or Floyd the week prior to the club's Fall Gathering.
Tony is an original member of DeepSouthSS, an ISSCA member, a deputy in Tifton, GA, is married to one of the most beautiful members of DeepSouthSS, Shannon, and arranged an escort on I-75 this past Spring for us to take our signature club picture on the home page of the DeepSouthSS Yahoo forum site. Tony and his DCM are in there somewhere.
As some of you may know Tony has been recovering from his last of three very intense chemotherapy series for cancer of the throat and he said he was feeling stronger. He even drove over with Shannon for the day to hang out with us at our NMCA car show in September.
The reason Tony did not make the Gathering this past weekend is that he was home awaiting some test results. Floyd called me last night to let me know they were positive for liver cancer. Barring the Lord's intervention or a medical breakthrough, the prognosis is not good.
They want their privacy. No calls. No visits.
I talked with Big John, who's wife is a Hospice nurse, last night. He's gonna talk to Penney and find out what's the best thing we, as DeepSouthSS members, could do for Tony and his wife. I'll let y'all know what we come up with.
God bless you, Tony. I love ya, man. I'm prayin' for you, Shannon and the family, brother.

*UPDATED*
Floyd just called this morning and said that Tony left us this morning for a much better place with endless drag strips and unlimited power Impala SS runs.
May God bless his soul and give Shannon the strength to endure.

LOL 
Damnit, Floyd! Ya know, I can hear him now!
I'm gonna wait until I get Bostic's tranny in and the burnout specials mounted, then I'm gonna leave two out of that place all the way to I-75! Video WILL BE provided. Then I'm gonna take Shannon down the track at Cecil as my copilot for my first 11 second run. Imagine she'll be even harder to hear when I'm done.
