His family is deeply touched by all your prayers, thoughts, emails, texts, facebook messages and phone calls. I have talked with many of you who I have not spoken to in years and made some new friends myself. I am still way to shook up to post much but will share some stories and more about Billy when I get to that point. I stopped by his home in St. Peters today where he lived with his mother Betty and brother Tony, and daughter Danielle. They are obviously shaken and don't have many answers to all of the "how" questions concerning the accident. But what I can tell you with certainty is that Billy deeply cared for you all the same way you felt for him. He was always calling and texting me when you were in need of prayers or your family had gone though a tragic event. When you were hurting it deeply touched him.
Thanks so much for the love and support you gave Billy during his life and after his life here was complete. We certainly didn't know it would end this way, but I can't help but smile thinking about this image in my mind. I'd love to see the look on Mike Meuer's face when Billy came through the gates of heaven about 1:14 AM this morning! I bet Billy was excited to see a familiar face just as you all were when you saw Billy at the track. And the first thing out of Billy's mouth to THE TALKER GUY was "Guess who won the feature last night!?". Billy was a huge part of 2 families, the HAFFER family and the DIRT RACING family. Me and my brother Randy were fortunate enough to grow up with Billy and shared many memories with him in both families. He was so special and loving. His heart was the best and you all described him so perfectly I can't add much more to that. God bless you for your love and support to us all, it has been a sad day in our family and was was a big part of the fun in all our family gatherings. The stories he would share and the way he told them were priceless and he loved telling them to his uncles!
Deepest appreciation for all you all did for Billy's fun life,
Rod Haffer
Cousin and best friend
It is with deepest regrets that I am posting this. My lifelong buddy and 1st cousin, Billy Haffer was killed last night in a car accident coming home from a race in Iowa. Details are still coming in but we wanted his racing family to know ASAP.
It happened near the Iowa state line when a low tire cause the car to slow and be rear ended by a truck. Billy was a passenger with a couple other racing friends. 2 in the car were killed and another is still critical. I will post details as they come in but if you need quicker responses you can email me: rodhaffer@yahoo.com.
God please comfort us all in this horrible time. His entire family is very shook up. He was my lifelong best friend and childhood play mate and it is very difficult.
