Dale and family: Trevor, Skip and I have just found out about Bob's passing. We are saddened by that & that we were unable to attend the services. We wish we could have been there to somehow comfort you. That is the bad part. The good part is that such pleasant memories of Bob are racing (you know what I mean) through our heads. Bob loved his racing and we sure enjoyed him.

He really was a great competitor and tried so very hard. He loved getting you in the kart and having you there for support as well. Of course, the twinkle in his eye was his daughter. God bless her. Whenever he would talk of her, he would lite up like a Christmas tree. We are happy we had the opportunity to meet you two. I think Bob has been called to wave a checkered flag up above. Take care. Skip, Janet and Trevor Tichy

Dearest Dale:

Hollister, Alexis and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. It was with deep sadness that we learned of the loss of your brother. The determined spirit you exhibit each day touches the lives of others in so many ways. But now you must reflect as a new angel enters Heaven. Words cannot express the sorrow that all of you must be feeling. Please know we share your grief and that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. You and your family remain in our hearts. Again, with deepest sympathy,

Diane, Hollister and Alexis

Dear Art (Sr.) and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a neighbor from years ago that lived across the street (Married to Jim Aul) I happened upon the announcement this afternoon and I couldn't make it to the funeral home and wanted to express my deepest sympathy. I will remember you in my prayers.
