Don’t think it’s true Paul. Sure hope not

I just googled an obit and it says that his wife (Pat) died! Did some more checking and found that she died years ago. Wiki shows that they posted it and then rescinded the post, saying he is still alive!

Obituary of Don Garlits

https://www.wikiobits.com/Obits/Don_Garlits

Donald Glenn Garlits (born on January 14th, 1932) was an Automobile-Racer who was best known for allegedly making homophobic and racist comments while running for the Republican party. Donald died on October 24th, 2020 and his death was possibly because of natural causes (a virus?). He was 88 years old.

A funeral service is scheduled for next Wednesday in Tampa, with a reception to follow at the local funeral home.

Seems you can post anything online without proper verification. That article was at the top of my search.

I love how they blame the virus. The internet and especially Wiki can not be trusted without verification.

Mr Garlits is spry and more physically fit than many a younger man. He'll be around for another decade!

Why would someone post a false obit? What a dirty bastard to do that!
