Leo Barnaby Passed Away
 

I know not a lot of you guys know him, but Leo Barnaby was a long time racer and owner of Neverlift Racecraft. I got to meet him through some mutual friends and always went out of my way to talk to him about racing and whatever latest creations were in the shop.

Some time Saturday night, apparently while out walking his dog, Leo was the victim of a hit and run. Viewing will be held Wednesday evening, funeral is Thursday morning. There is an online guestbook and some information about Leo here, http://obit.holmdelfuneralhome.com/o...isting=Current

I am truely at a loss right now. Such a nice guy, always willing to talk and let anyone bounce ideas off of him. My prayers go out to his family in their time of need. :cry:

-Tim

I'll keep him in my prayers.

WOW!! that sux!! leo was a really nice guy. like you said tim he'd talk to anyone and he always had some FAST cars. what a shame.

Same here.

OMG....what a loss to the racing community.

I never had the chance to meet Leo, but I did get to see him race a few times.

RIP

sad to hear. from the article it sounds like he was able to drive home, but then went for a walk and bled out internally

holy chit how storys differ!! read the cause of death in tim's post then read the direct link paul posted. how things get twisted.

typical of bad reporting... i'm more likely to believe tim's story. sounds more likely.
