Not sure what to say?

To the DeJong Family:
Our love and sympathy go out to you. My husband, Bob Ryan raced with Bob in the "good 'ole days" of Midgets and Sprints. When we moved to Medford several years ago we found the DeJongs again and had wonderful times with them.
Our love and prayers
Bobbie & Bob Ryan

I first met Bob in 1958 when I came from Seattle to run my midget at the Oakland indoors. We became friends, and he was very helpful to me in my racing career. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To the DeJong family
We remember racing with Bob in the old BCRA days. Remember racing indoors at the Cow Palace & Santa Rosa -- froze our buns! Lots of great memories. What a wonderful person he was, full of fun & love of racing. May your memories help you get through this difficult time.

Dear Karen,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

My heart and prayers go out to Steve, Jerry and the entire family. I know Bob was a great man, he will be missed. Remember the good times my friends remember the good times.

Karen,
You and Bob were a couple to be admired. I remember well the rose he would bring to you each week, the way he treated the kids. He was indeed a special person, and he made you glow. My thoughts are with you from a long time ago.

I'm Steve's girlfriend's sister, Robin. My thoughts, prayers, and love are being sent over the hill to Steve and the rest of the family. Even though I can't be there on Thursday, know that my heart is with you and I will be thinking about you all day.
