Re: Richard Doane
Richard grew up in our little town and I remember his race cars from the 60's. He always had the best of stuff. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed my friend! Bob Michael

Re: Richard Doane
I had the privilege of racing against Richard in the final last year at the div 3 fall classic he had asked me if we were to come back to the staging for contingency I laughed and said sir I'm a rookie at being in a final. I ended up winning the race (the first since my late father had passed) and he embraced me and said "son you did your old man proud congratulations!" I was already teary eyed and he made them tears flow harder.He really was one of the good guys! He will be missed. RIP my friend.

Re: Richard Doane
An extremely sincere, genuine nice person. Welcomed me when I 1st got into racing. Everyone should strive to be the kind of person he was. Condolences to Richards family. His family was blessed to have him.

Re: Richard Doane
I remember first seeing Richard race at Ohio Valley Door slammers in the late 70s. He had a blue SS/IA 67 Camaro that was so fast that he ran E/G with it. He was always somebody I looked up to after that, he will truly be missed.
