It is with great sadness Dick Johnson Racing announce the death of one of their most long standing and loyal employees.
Mark “Numbers” Woolfrey, the team’s Chief Engineer, died on Thursday 10th March at his home in Brisbane.
Numbers joined the team in 2001 and held several senior positions before being promoted to Chief Engineer last year, overseeing strategy and car set up. Over the last 10 years, he showed unwavering loyalty to Dick and the team.
With his years of experience in the racing industry, Numbers was very much a mentor to many past and present employees and will be missed by all.
“Numbers was an integral part of DJR for the past ten years,” said Dick Johnson.
“He really was a master of his profession - especially when it came to design and race engineering and he will be missed by every single member of this Team.”
On behalf of the Johnson family and the entire team, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to Mark’s wife, Anne and the whole of the Woolfrey family.
The funeral will be held on Thursday 24th March 1pm, at Great Southern Garden of Remembrance Mt Cotton Road, Carbrook followed by refreshments at the Tea Rooms connected to Great Southern Garden of Remembrance.
