Hi Nancy
Just wanted to let you know that Nick Cheechov passed away last Sunday - same day and nearly the same time as Dale Earnhardt. He was just barely hanging on for the past few weeks, so although sad - he did not want to live like he was living. Below is the obit from the Reporter. It was
pretty correct - except Nick had an older brother Mike that passed away long ago.
