CORRECTION TO THIS OBITUARY: For all Billy's racing friends who race Friday night, there will be viewing also Saturday 9-2 before the funeral service.

The funeral home still has not received the body from Iowa as of 1 pm Wednesday, but fully intend to do all they can for an open viewing service. We are still left with many unanswered questions about this crash but working hard with Iowa state police to obtain all the info we can. I know that he had to be embalmed before body could cross state lines and return to Missouri.

Thanks for all your nice thoughts, emails, calls, texts and your prayers of support to the family.

~ Rod Haffer
