My wifes uncle, John D. Hill, passed yesterday. For more than 46 years Uncle John was a legendary racing reporter here in central New York State. John reported all forms of motor racing from many venues and for numerous publications. He was inducted into the D.I.R.T. Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2001. Uncle John lost his battle with cancer yesterday at the age of 74. Please remember him and his family in your prayers tonight.
