Not sure what to say?

Don and Robinette both treated me like family. They accepted me into their lives and taught me the real meaning of generosity and brotherhood. My heart is broken. After days of being distraught I decided that Don would want me to carry on restoring his race bikes and helping the best I can in Kyle and Chandlers racing. I also wanted to help out Robinette in any way I can. R.I.P. brother. Keep it twisted up in the highways of Heaven.

We rode in the ride it was a great pleasure to honor such a wonderful man many prayers go to the family I've had the pleasure of meeting Don Tilly one time when I first moved to statesville and he was just genuine and real nice man and I have had the pleasure to get to know his beautiful daughter Donna and they are just great people

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Don Tilley. He was a friend of my father's from the old days. That connection led me to interview Mr. Tilley a few years ago for a screenplay about auto racing. He was a nice man and a real ambassador for motorcycling. I extend my sincerest condolences to his family.

Denise,Donna and family, I am so sorry for the lost of your dad. I send love and prayers to all of you. I PRAY GOD WILL HEAL MOM AND BRING HER HOME SOON. Sending lots of prayers your way. Mary ELLIS AND Kerry ELLIS Cairns and sister Betty Myers.

Very fond memories of Don and the charity ride. His caring heart and love of riding will be remembered for years. Miss him already.

Words cannot express how saddened we are at Don's passing. We bought our first and only Harley from him and treasured our friendship with him and Robinette over the years. Heaven is a better place with Don in it! Our love and prayers to Robinette and the Family. Sincerely,
