Don Garlits and his wife.

This was posted on another forum and I knew a lot of you would like to know about it.


From Garlits himself:

Friends,
I put my wife into the hospital Friday and Saturday the Doctor told me she would never come home! The very next morning I had a stroke, however I was rushed to the hospital and they got to me in time and I’m home now doing great. Just a small memory loss for about an hour! The good Lord was with me! Pray for both of us.
Thanks,


Very shocking and saddening. Prayers go out to the both of them.

He is a man of great faith. The story of him in the hospital after he got burned bad is worth hearing. I'm sure he believes in the best. Awesome dude he is.

He is definitely a class act. We will never see the likes of him any time soon. My thoughts & prayers go out to him. Thanks for the info Don.

They are now saying Don's stroke was probably brought on by stress over his wife's hospitalization. I know they have been married for about 59 years so they must be extremely close.

Our hobby is aging rapidly and all the greats we grew up idolizing are getting up there in years too. Father Time can be very tough sometimes.
