Such a huge loss.....Peter Simpson has passed on.

Found it the other night on youtube. Very touching indeed.:ball:

 

Wow..... the video was amazing!!!!

I consider myself fortunate to know the family and to be able to have know a very great man!!!

Miss him greatly!!!

 

Thats such a beautiful vidio of Peters life... I started
tearing when the boy's were getting older and you can
see the bonding of the three men together..

 

Just wanted to thank everyone who was involved in putting that great video together about COPO Pete 's life. It indeed was very touching to watch. :ball: Peter, you'll will be missed by many, but never forgotten my friend.

Sincerely,
Bob Boden

 

Wow -that sucks. I've been away since before Christmas and was hoping to see a positive update.
I've had admiration for Pete and family since I first attended way back in 1996.
Prayers to the Simpson family (and JJ) and God's speed to Peter!
Joe and Kim Z

 

This is so sad...

My condolences to the Simpson family.

Although I am not part of the Pure Stock fraternity, I was saddened to hear of the loss of Peter Simpson. As a fellow Canadian and Ontarian, he made Pure Stock drag racing attainable and real to me because this amazing group of people and cars had a Canadian right in the thick of things (even right at the top of things). I will miss reading about him, I know his legacy shall live on for a VERY long time.

This morning I received in the mail the April 2013 edition of Musclecar Review. The "Last Page" article by Tom Shaw has a nice tribute to Peter.

Peace.

COPO Pete Videos

 

I Love watching those Videos, But.....

I miss you Pete

 

Just watched the videos again. It brought a smile to my face because I knew that it was one of his happy places!

I just read the kind words that Tom Shaw has in the back of the April issue of Musclecar Review. Tough to capture all emotions on a page... Tom did well.

 

Closeted Pontiac Man..

 

:tu:

 

SAY IT AIN'T SO

wow ,think how fast he would of been with a pontiac! hahahahahahaha

 

Sometimes I stop what I'm doing and recall something he said that made me bust a gut like............ One morning at a Martin,Mi race, I made a couple of passes and told him how frustrated I was by the lack of traction I was experiencing. He looks at his car and then looks me in the eyes with a straight face and says.."I'm not to worried about that...my car hooks on wet grass"

........and sometimes I miss his phone calls and have a good cry.

Tom Shaw's tribute was absolutely beautiful!

Thanks Tom

 

Here's the tribute for those of you that haven't seen the issue yet.

 

Very Nice,
Thanks Bruno

I don't think we really miss Pete just yet, it's still like it's not real, or didn't really happen. I don't think it will really sink in until we get to the first event, look around, and notice he's not there.

 

Hard to Believe Tuesday will be 6 Months, A huge loss that has left a hole in many of our lives.

Miss you Pete

 

I was thinking of him last month.. Wheat harvest was winding down and one of my first inclinations was to call Pete and talk farming.

Without a doubt, I miss my friend!

 

Looking forward to his tribute at the Supercar Reunion in a few weeks. Vicky and their boys, Eric and Owen, have been hard at work preparing his cars for show and go that weekend.
