My sincerest condolences to
My sincerest condolences to the Litt family.
Back in the day Herb was a one-man track crew at Orangeville Raceway. We raced through some of the worst weather you could imagine,and Herb would always find a way to get the track in race shape- despite 5 different horsemen having 5 differing opinions on how to go about that (it sort of goes with the territory)
In later years, I might see him at Hanover or Flamboro and he would always have a kind word, and a fond memory of those times.
I am so sorry to hear about
