Another of the old-time racing fraternity has passed on. Bob and his son, Jerry, owned and raced many cars over the years. I have no doubt he and my Dad are bench racing/arguing once more. 💕

Yep, a lot of the original NHRA racers have left us in the last few years. Bob was great guy to talk with in the pits. Will be missed.

RIP good buddy. Bob and I raced with each other and against each other for many years. He was a good friend in addition to being a good neighbor for the last 20 years. Bob always had time to stop by when he drove by my house. We spent a lot of time reminiscing about the good old days in front of my house. No doubt He and Harry Holton are bench racing and arguing up above. Bob will be missed a lot.

At time it seemed Bob would go out of his way to give me a ride in his golf cart. Fun to chat with and all his car knowledge. R.I.P. my friend.
