Leave a tribute for Luther Yates Whisnant, Sr..
I just came across this after thinking about Luther today. Luther always amazed me when I was a kid. We would go over to his house while working on a race car and he always loved to share his knowledge and anything he had with the people around him. I have tried to be the same kind of person that I saw in him and my father. I have a friend coming over to my shop tomorrow to work on a car and if I can be as helpful and kind as Luther and my dad always were, then I will be happy. I know this is years late but I hope someone who loved Luther sees it and smiles.
