This is a copy of a post done at Hyroracer .net. Thought it should be passed on.

With a saden heart I regret to inform you all that one of the legends of outboard racing, Bud Parker has passed away early Saturday morning at St Joes Hospital in Pontiac MI. I have no furter details at this time but as soon as I receive them I will pass them on to you all. Please keep the Parker family in you thoughts and prayers
