I just learned tonight my great friend Mr. Jim Rathman is very sick and going into Hospice..Jim is a wonderful man and friend to many. Jim has been a great loyal friend to me and my family for decades! Our prayers are with his wife and we are praying for him! Jim is one of the finest men you could want to meet! Jim and i have no secrets between each other we both confided in one another to things we did not want to talk about to others.....we have had such a special bond for decades...My son who passed away too early a few years ago is named after Jim Rathman!! Jim,is just one of the finest men you could ever want to meet!He is one of the greatest Racing legends around.He won Indy and Monza Italy and many Soldier Field Races. Jim Rathman is known " as the fastest man alive in Racing!Jim we are praying for you!!!Love Your buddy Tiger and Family http://www.mshf.com/hof/rathmann_jim.htm

Sad to hear. Jim is the oldest living Indy 500 winner, I think. Our prayers are with him and his family.

I had the honor to meet Mr. Rathman and Gus Grissom when they were the Grand Marshalls for a Myers Brothers Memorial Race at Bowman Gray Stadium. Can't remember the exact year but I gonna guess 1964-65. Photo of the memorable occasion is included.
