He conquered the dreadful disease of through death and fought a heroic fight for the past several months and now rests in the love of arms. He was born on the 31st of December, 1921 in Evanston, the eldest of three sons of Wesley C.

and Louise H. Duesenberg. He was also related to the Duesenberg Brothers that manufactured and designed the Duesenberg Automobiles in the late 20's and early 30's. After graduating from Lane Tech in Chicago, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1945 and then attended Northwestern University.

While stationed in Miami, he met Virginia Elizabeth Krenson of Savannah and they were married on the 31st of August 1944 in a double wedding with fellow Coast Guardsman Bruce Little and Elodia Krenson; sister of Virginia. After the war, the couple moved back to Chicago and Mr. as he was often referred to, started in the insurance business with Kurt Hitke and managed the Chicago and Springfield, Ill. offices before moving to Atlanta to open a new office in 1951. He was a pioneer in the insurance industry and after buying the Atlanta office from Kurt Hitke was one of the first individuals to establish the of coverage in the property and casualty insurance industry.

His life was devoted to building and servicing the independent agents in the insurance industry, as well as the public, by providing coverages that so often were not traditionaly available. In 1964, he started his current business, Southern Insurance Underwriters, and was active as Chairman until December of 2003. During his business career, he not only served on various Industry organizations but was also national President of the American Association of Managing General Agents from 1979-1980. Mr. D.

was a fair and kind leader, a knowledgeable insurance executive as well as an astute businessman. Mr. Duesenberg was a beloved family man and a devout Christian and was a member of the Second Church of Christ Scientist on Peachtree Road. He was active in the administration of the church and was a contributor to early success. Often he would attend early church and then hurry over to Sandy Springs Methodist to attend church with his wife, some Sundays having attended two different services.

Mr. D. will be remembered by all by those who knew him and by his reputation as one of great integrity and character who was first devoted to his family and his Lord. His passion was his business and the good that it did for many whom he did not even know. Although he was born in Illinois, he was the true epitome of all and will be missed by all.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Virginia Elizabeth Duesenberg; son, Wesley C. daughter, Donna Duesenberg Glenn and daughter-in-law, Joanne LeMaster Duesenberg; granddaughters, Britany Glenn Molinaro, Lindsey Glenn Gilmer, Leslie Duesenberg; grandson, Wesley C.

He participated in the sport he so loved as a race car driver, a driving instructor, a pace car driver and a racing official. Burns, of Sebring, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia, died in his sleep on Sunday, October 10th at Hospice Atlanta after battling pneumonia, circulation problems and dementia. Burns, who was born in Albion (Ann Arbor), Michigan, was a well-loved and respected man who had friends all over the world. He traveled to racing events across the U.S. and was always greeted by friends wherever he went.

Burns was well known for his quick wit and sense of humor that was never- ending. As a youngster, John was faci- nated with all things that went fast and had a motor, like many young boys his age. He loved cars, airplanes, motorcycles, and boats. He often got in touble for skipping school to hang out at the Detroit Airport, where he swept hangars in exchange for airplane rides. He would his Ford Model before he was even a teenager to go for joy rides.

He had a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a sidecar with which he made deliveries as a teenager. Eventually he even owned and flew his own small Piper airplane. In the 1960s and 70s, Burns concentrated on cars, as he raced Triumph TR-4 and a Mini-Cooper, respectively, as an amateur SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) race car driver. He was a driving instructor at Road Atlanta for many years. He became the official pace car driver for the Road Atlanta race track in 1969, which he continued for over 20 years.

As a member of SCCA for over 40 years, he served as a racing official at race tracks all over the country for the last 25 years or more. He helped organize and officiate at the inaugural Grand Bahama Vintage Grand Prixs in 1980s. He was a vintage racing official for both the HSR (Historic Sports Racing) and SVRA (Southern Vintage Racing Association) for many years. The last race he attended was the 12 Hours of Sebring race in Sebring, Florida, his all-time favorite, in March of this year. Earlier in his professional life, Burns worked in sales.

His outgoing personality and love for people helped him excel to in this field. Burns and his former wife, Glenda, had three daughters, Sandy Lynn, and Barbara Burns, both of Atlanta, Georgia, and Jennifer Burns of Santa Monica, California. He has two grandchildren in Atlanta, Amy (22) and Eric (14) Boyd. Burns was also an avid deep-sea fisherman; often taking trips to the Florida Keys, as well the Caribbean and Central America. Memorial services are currently being planned.

His body was cremated. The family requests in lieu of flowers, anyone who would like to make a donation in John name can donate to Motorsports Ministries, a non-profit organization that services the spiritual needs of the motorsports industry (www.motosportsministries.com or 707523-4780) or the Florida based Boggy Creek Gang Camp (www.boggycreek.org or 352-483-4200) for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, which was co-founded by his racing friend, Paul Newman. Burns will be greatly missed by all of those who loved and knew him. A void will be left in the racing community from the loss of this exceptional man. Wages Sons, 770-469-9811.
