Not sure what to say?

I only knew Reds through racing. We got to be good friends at Nutrisystem where we both lost our weight. When we no longer got their food our weght came back. I saw red drive his first race at Dorney Park in the copper colored # 55.I will miss him at the various racing reunions and the new Reding Fair will not be the same with him not there.
Sincerely,
Barry Boyd

Thanks for all the great memories of Reading's Classic dirt show Red!

Sorry for your loss Red was a good friend and inspiration he will truly be missed by all

Sorry to hear of your loss Betty, God has taken a GREAT man to sit beside him in heaven. As a young child ,I can remember rooting for Red and Gerry - week after week at The Fairgrounds! Then, as an adult- becoming friends with both of you doing the country line dancing at Hummel's years ago. RIP Red ... I will miss you.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family at this difficult time. I'll miss giving Red a hug every time I see him. Red was very close to my family and he took it upon himself to help my brothers through their lives and treated them like 'sons'. Keep all the memories close to your heart and cherish them!

so sorry for your loss . He was a wonderful man . thoughts and prayers to his family .

Sorry to hear of Red's passing. He will be in Heaven racing. I enjoyed watching him at Reading Fair Speedway. Will miss him at Supervisor conventions. Prayers and thoughts with the family.

To the family, so sorry for your loss Red was a great man as you all know but he was a great friend to everyone that took the time to meet him. I visited Red when he was at the Topton Home. He was stunned when he saw me but his face lite up, his mind and memory were sharp as we talked racing for quite a while. He remembered every detail, better than I did, about our effort at Syracuse including the blown engine and resulting crash. Proud to be his friend, RIP Red.

Our condolences, Red was a good man.
