Robert Elrod, who was instrumental in organizing the recent Trackside fundraiser at Corner Pub, reports…

The owner of Trackside (Doc Al Czarkowski) father died yesterday at Dekalb. It seems impossible that all this could happen to one person, but it has.

This Saturday at 2PM at Turner Funeral home in Decatur, there will be a service for him…. Doc’s father was a welcome fellow whenever he was in town at the Trackside and many of the patrons knew him well. Since the fire, Doc has not been able to get to his email list from the Trackside, and we’d like as many folks as possible to be made aware.

My deepest condolences Al.
