Legendary Puller Paul Yates Passes Away.....

I am very sorry to post this so late, but I just found out about the passing of Paul Yates. I have read numerous posts from Paul through the years on Fonda's site and I knew he was in poor health the last couple years, but I was shocked to hear of his passing. I can say for fact, that few people loved the sport of Tractor Pulling more than Paul......He will be missed. My condolences and regards to the Yates Family.....Keep on Pulling.
