Walt DeMorris
by J.A. Ackley
Walt DeMorris, whom
passed away this past October, was remembered for not winning
the most championships, nor winning the most races, but for
winning the hearts of those whom were privileged to have known
him. DeMorris was the epitome of the low-buck racer, whom
crewed, sponsored, and drove his own effort 99% of the time.
Walt enjoyed
life to its fullest and tried to have fun everywhere he went.
Off the track Walt was an avid Jets fan whom had season tickets
for their whole season. In addition, Walt’s favorite musician
was Jimmy Buffett, where on any given night Walt was in the
shop, you could hear him singing along for seemingly blocks
away.
In closing,
Walt will still missed by many of us down here, his family and
friends, as he was truly an angel but now he can party for an
eternity in Margaritaville. Although he would never experience
victory lane, those around him knew that victory lane was being
with him.
