It is with an extremely heavy heart that I inform this forum of the passing of Fred Schmucker - long time SCCA SE Division Chief Steward - a man of commitment and conviction - love him or hate him - he was dedicated to the SCCA - to Road Racing and to the SE Division and worked hard at making racing fun, safe and exciting for everyone under his "watch". I considered Fred a friend and a trusted voice in the SE Division - he will be missed. God Speed My Friend - God Speed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Nancy and his family and all of his friends and associates that I know share this terrible loss and mourn his passing. Fred was one of a kind and always sharp of wit and a joke - he was always there if you needed him and was so many times a voice of reason when it was so badly needed. His guidance was appreciated and his passing was unexpected and sudden - I will pass on more details as they come - as the shock of this hit me hard - I wanted to make sure everyone was informed. I would like to move that this year's SIC be run in memory of Fred and as a tribute to his many contributions to the SE Division.......I have lost a friend - the SCCA has lost a knowledgeable voice and the SE Division has lost yet another long time supporter, enthusiast, leader and legend of the sport - true racer at heart.
