Condolences

The family of Kenneth L. Sperry has received the following condolences.

We always considered Ken a friend, even though we didn't see him much lately. Enjoyed talking to him at the racer's reunions and always talking about Buicks. Traded some parts with him and made him happy. But he was always happy and ready to help anyone with advice. He was a great addition to the racing family and will be missed at all future reunions. Our condolences in losing a good father, friend and man.   Pat Clyde and Lyle Hinrichs

An amazing gentle man with such a wonderful spirit!  He will be SO missed!   Surrounding the family with love & peace!  Love Karla
