Unhappy 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.

-Tim

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
