Did you ever have a chance to meet him or race against him? He drove some cool cars in some good times.
Here are a few relevant posts I searched this forum for; thank you Jon for all of your and anybody else's efforts involved in putting these posts together:

Sorry to hear the news.  Ron Grable was a well-respected Trans-Am competitor and will be missed.
