Crane Family,

May you find joy in all of the beautiful memories that you have of Bob. May you find peace in knowing that he is in a better place, and may you find strength in all of the love and support that surrounds you at this time.

My father, Joe Thompson, and Bob raced at Vallejo Speedway years ago, and I remember playing at your house as a child. Sadly my father passed away June 5, 2010. I miss him dearly!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely yours,
Tina Thompson
