I met Stirling Moss several times at the Lime Rock Historic Festivals where he was the guest of honor. As I write this there is a poster over my desk from Historic Festival 30 that he signed for me.

One year we brought a busload of kids from Ronald McDonald House to the Sunday in the Park classic car show where they were the judges for the Kids Choice Award. There was a French family there who had brought their young son to NYC to be treated for cancer and they were staying at Ronald McDonald House, I talked with the father and he told me he was a big Formula 1 fan. Moss was before his time but he was very familiar with his career. He tried to get in line to get Moss' autograph but the line closed before he had a chance.

A short time later I saw them (father and son) on Sam Posey straight where Moss was one of the judges in the car show. Sir Stirling was sitting in a chair holding the young boy in his lap while the beaming father took their picture.

Today in his honor I am wearing my 2014 Lime Rock Drivers Club hard card that he signed,

RIP Sir Stirling you were a legend and a gentleman.
