I heard he was back in the hospital AGAIN a few weeks ago, MAN this is SAD news!!! I raced at Flambourgh back in the late 60's & if memory serves me correct, we used Nate's trailer for awhile to haul the car back & forth!!! RIP Nate, Pete

Sad to hear this!
I always looked forward to reading his articles in old autos, he wrote about some hilarious happenings .
I bought his book, and have read that book a number of times over the years, he wrote it as it was, and his knowledge of racing at Sunset Speedway was considerable.
My condolences go out to all connected with him.
He will be missed....I use to really enjoy his column in Old Auto's over the many years.......never had the pleasure of meeting the gentlmen but seemed like the type of guy you could really like......God Speed Nate.
