Anderson Speedway Loses Great Supporter & Racer
The ownership team and staff of Anderson Speedway are deeply saddened to announce that John A. "Big John" Frawley, 77, passed away on Monday August 30th following an extended illness.

I will always remember my predecessor Dutch Hurst referring to Big John as "Fearless Frawley" because it seemed as though John was one of those drivers that just never stopped at the crossover. John loved his racing and loved the figure 8.

Even in failing health, he made one final effort to make it to the 2010 National Crown and he was rewarded for his effort. Grand son Terry Malone Jr's #27 car piloted by Curtis Chapman took home the checkered flag for Grandpa! Things were now complete. Rest in peace "Big John" and thanks for the memories.

Calling is today, Wednesday, September 1, 2010 from 4 to 8 pm at the Robert D Loose Funeral Home and Crematory, 200 W 53rd St in Anderson and one hour prior to the Thursday, September 2nd 1 pm. funeral service. Burial will follow in East Maplewood Cemetery in Anderson. Post online condolences at www.loosefuneralhomes.com or www.theheraldbulletin.com

Our sympathy is extended to the very large family of "Big John". May the peace of God be with you all today and in the days and weeks ahead.
