Not sure what to say?

Bimpy was one in a million. I still remember those times when he worked for my family at Hoffman Bros. He was a very kind and caring person with a smile that could not be forgotten. His racing days at Dorney Park are unforgetable. He was a fearless driver,crossing over that finish line one way or the other,whether while rolling over,upside down,or in reverse. I am one of many that will miss such a great guy..

Uncle Bimpy was my dad's step uncle. So sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure the times spent with Bimpy were great times.

Grew up watching the races at Dorney Park. Hot dogs, trips to the park at intermission, looking though the tin fence to see the cars in the pits, seeing the cars enter the pits as we went from my dads car to our seats.....what a period in time.......priceless. With that, Bimpy Marx was a name I always remembered and his car I always looked for coming out of the second turn pit gate. He will be missed by many

Sadly missed but never forgotten, Bimp was a great driver and fun person at the race track. I was the welder at dorney and many saturday nites he helped me by collecting the welding money for me. Those years were really great times in racing. Bimp was one of the greats of that time. May the Lord's face shine upon you and give you peace.

Gary, My deepset sympathy to you and your family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget the day your Dad came home and your Mom was sitting on the porch and your Dad called their little dog, "Peanut" (If I remember correctly) and the little dog came RUNNING over to him down the porch steps and Bimpy gave him his paycheck and the little dog RAN straight back to your Mom with it and she took it from his mouth LOL! I remember them laughing, we all laughed so hard. May God give you...

To Bimpy's Family:
I remember going to see Bimpy at Dorney Park Speedway in the early 60s. Although I was just a mere child of 6 at the time, he was a favorite driver of our family and I remember routing for him for years and what a good sportsman he was. I have some old photos I still keep in a memory book. I remember seeing him at an Old Timer's signing a number of years ago and it brought back some wonderful memories of him racing with Zorro Engler, Bruno Hoffman, and many others. He...

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Bimpy was a good man. He will be missed.

We are sorry to hear that Bimpy passed away. It was always exciting watching him race at Dorney. We enjoyed the bus trips to A C with him. He will be missed.

We were sorry to hear that Bimpy passed away. We remember all the good times we had at Quakerwoods Campground, sitting around the fires and always there was coffee, Peanuts and Little Girl. He was always there for everyone. He will be missed.
