POSTED 11-12-08 BILL SLADE TAKES THE CHECKER FLAG!

BILL SLADE 1959-2008
REST IN PEACE
__________________________________________________________________________
Last night at around 8:00 p.m. all of us Beech Bend Stock Car Driver lost a very special friend as Bill Slade took his very last lap with cancer. Bill fought a battle with cancer and was very brave. It all started, to the best of my knowledge around four years ago and then reoccurred again a few months ago. Bill had a last wish, it was to ride in a stock car around a track. Jay Parrish #79 took Bill for that last and only ride around the oval track of Beech Bend on a Monday evening. I believe that Bill is in a much better place now. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Slade family. May God bless and comfort you all is our prayer. From all the racers, race suppliers and race fans.

at least he's one that went with what he wanted to do accomplished, and showing by the picture he looked extremely happy, and he's not suffering anymore he's is truly in a better place than any of us are.
