A great neighbor on North St in Suffield growing up. His mother ran our 4-H group and we played basketball in the barn once the cows ate enough hay.

Rest in peace Mr. Bahre. We have never met but I wanted to thank you for generosity. I was a recipient of your college scholarship from 1999-2002 from the NHIS in Loudon NH. I graduated with honors in 2003 and now teach where it all started for me as a child in Loudon NH. I wish you and your family peace and my deepest sympathy for the loss of such a generous man.

I met Bob a number of years ago while on a trip with my husband -his racing business associate- Joe Jacobs, Race Tires America, Indiana, Pa. He was a most gracious host. He and my husband had racing in their blood. May his ride be gentle.

i didn’t personally know Mr. Bahre, but from what I’ve read and have heard about him, I grieve his passing with the community. My condolences to his family, his municipal partners, and his Track Fans. I’m sorry I never met him, but I’m so impressed with his accomplishments in life and to his community.
May he Rest In Peace, and we all know that his contribution to the community is something to seriously remember and memorialize.

So sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed. He went to our church and always teased my husband, Nelson, for hugging all the women. We are both huggers so I asked if I could give him one. He kind of grumbled but I always gave him a hug anyways. Thoughts and prayers coming your way!! Karen and Nelson Baillargeon

I will remember Bob as the who entrusted a 16 y/o Boy with the job of pit steward at his race track. He was both a mentor and life long friend. Rest in peace Bob, REST IN PIECE.

When my son was in the hospital in 2004, I met Bobs family because they were there after Bobs accident. When you spend a lot of time waiting for information, you get to know about other families also waiting. I will always remember how very special Bobs family was. They had their own problems but were so kind to me as I waited for news. Many prayers for your family at this time.
