One of my favorite things I've ever done while operating a race track was sitting and having a cold one with Bob in our parking lot at Jacksonville during our POWRi midget weeks days in advance of the show. I'd say I only met him 3-4 times... and only for those events but it was without a doubt something I looked forward to the most. I can say that I've never had one of those shows without purposefully checking the lot for Bob. He hadn't been here for a few years... and I missed him each time. A cold Bud in one hand, an unfiltered stick in the other, smile on his face and a story to tell.

We are so sorry to hear this! Always enjoyed seeing Bob, Monica and Jade at the races. It won’t be the same without him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Monica, Tim and the family.

Bob, enjoy watching the races from the big track in the sky.

Kelly and Mike

So sorry to hear this. I too have been lucky to experience Bob an Monika’s hospitality and kindness at their RV, after being introduced by ASQRFAL. One time, Bob even gave me one of Brian’s shirts after an enjoyable chat all afternoon at Oskaloosa back in 2005 I’m guessing. My thoughts and prayers are with Monika and family, all the way from Australia. God Speed Bob, you were one of the good guys for sure.

It won’t be the same at the races this summer without Bob and his familiar motor home in the parking lot.
Rest In Peace, Bob! You will be long remembered by all who knew you.
