First met Mr. Nuckles in 1975 when I Jeff and I got to know each other at Ohio Northern. Rides from Cullman Road to Ada (with Jeff) and Ada to Cullman Road (with Jeff). Great man and the "apples" (his sons) haven't fallen far from the "tree".

To all the Nuckles family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I Enjoyed knowing him and working at the track with him, Bobbie and the rest of the family in the 80's. He was always nice and friendly. Last time we saw him, he was riding in his golf cart on the track with a big smile. He will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all now.

I never met this man, but my Pops told me he was a great guy. My father, Mark Halter, was good friends with the Nuckles. Winning the first 3 Jamie Nuckles Memorials (1975, '76, '77). Jim Nuckles will be missed by many, as he was the man behind the track that, for so many years, was my fathers heart and home. Goodbye Jim. Thanks for the good years at CMS.

John, Jerry, Jeff and families - my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have the fondest memories of growing up around and with your family. Both of your parents were wonderful amazing people -I know I am a better person because I knew them. No one will fill the "Old Mans" shoes - nor should any one try. He would expect you to put on your own and make a new path - as you all are doing. I know he was proud and honored to be your Dad and your best friend. I will always remember Jims words of wisdom - of which I have used many times over the years - "if you have to tell someone to 'take a hike' - make sure you do it with a smile"! That grin of his will forever warm my heart. Love all of you - Tammy (Neidlinger)Koberlein
