To June's family: My sympathy to all of you. My parents (Floyd and Jean Otte) were good friends of your parents, and my dad was the mechanic on your dad's stock cars #77 both blue and black. I remember as a kid coming to your farm near Stockton and playing in the barn and on the property. I was saddened to read of your mother's death. My first inclination was to pick up the phone and call my mom to tell her, except she passed away 07/01/2018. She always thought a lot of June. I also worked at the hospital in Freeport when your dad died. I was happy to supply photos of his stock cars to brighten his room, which gave him something to reminisce about with other staff and visitors. My mom was happy to have had the opportunity then to visit with both him and your mother.

Your mom will be sorely missed. Keep her memory alive. God bless you all.
