I met Robbie at the Junk yard lounge in 1995. I had my #94 Robbie Dean t-shirt on and my wife Nancy had on her #21 John Vallo t-shirt . We were watching the races from that night on tape. Robbie sat down next to me and bought me a beer. He then proceeded to tell me how his car drove that night and how he made a late lap pass of Vallo to win. He tought it was pretty cool that my wife and I liked different drivers. He treated me like he had known me for years not minutes. I could not believe...

I was watching the Lifelock 400 race last night with my family when I mentioned your name. I asked my daughter to locate you on her computer. I had heard that you will fighting cancer. I told her that I hadn't see you in years. That I wanted to go see you today. She replied a few moments later that you were gone. What a shock. You will be missed. I'm sorry I didn't get to say good bye!. But that would have been so sad. I will always remember the fun we had in the early eighties. My children...

My dad walked into my work a few days ago and said, "Well I just found out a good racing buddy of mine passed away today." He proceeded to tell me stories, each one accompanied by a reminiscent smile, about Robbie, with details like "... He was always a gentle, laid-back kind of guy..." and I found myself laughing with him about these memories of his kind friend I had never known. Even a girl such as myself who had never met Robbie, I see how he's impacted so many people, including my dad,...

Our Thoughts and prayers are with the Dean family. I only saw him race once in the Main Event at Columbus Motor Speedway. Wish I could have seen him race more.

Big Rob,
I will never forget you. I will never forget the nights at CMS and being so proud to be a part of your legacy there. I am so thankful to have been a friend to your son during all these years. I know that whereever, and whenever I see the number 94, or Big Bird, that I will think fondly of you and the times I spent with you. You taught us so much, about racing, about cars, about PBR (haha) and I owe you back some of the greatest years of my life! Riding in your rig on kids...

DEDICATED TO MY HERO,MY BEST FRIEND,AND MOST OF ALL MY UNCLE... Uncle, Many years ago, I shared my first birthday with a man that was a stranger to me. As time went by, that man would become known to me as Uncle, a man I could only aspire to be..... Although far away, Uncle is special to me, he taught me to love life, be who,I am and most importantly, take care of the ones I love no matter what power I believe in from above. Today is dark cold and rainy, some would say it was appropriate for...
