With a very Heavy heart....XPSFan (Fred Mckee) has passed

I cannot even believe the words I am typing right now. But this morning the world lost a great man, father, grandfather, friend and one the baddest chassis guys I knew. Shocked isn't a word that even comes close to describing how I feel. Out of respect for Matt, Kelly and Karen I will leave this post short. Just please keep them in your prayers.
The sport lost a great person today.

I figured for sure this was a prank. Sounds odd, but he seemed so sharp and healthy online. I know. Very sorry to hear and Godspeed.

Very sad day. Prayers for his family. I’m going to miss very much talking with him. He was a great guy with a great sense of humor. A man quick to help anyone and I never heard a bad word about him. RIP Fred.

Oh man, that’s terrible! Such a shame. What a wealth of knowledge. Prayers for his family.

You have to put in the effort, to get anything out of it.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
