His brother died, not Connie. That would be Doug Kalitta's dad....Last edited by Dave Severson; 07-02-2007 at 09:21 AM.

Well i guess i was mistaken, thanks for the info denny, that explains why there was not more press, i know connie was not liked very much,but i figured there would be more press if he died.

Connie is not exactly what I'd call a "people" person. I flagged him a couple of times many years ago and IMHO he was a pain in the %*&.Ken Thomas
