Floyd H. "Junior" Dreyer Jr.

I can't say I knew Junior well, but I attended church with his parents and have purchased several motorcycles from him. He always seemed to have something good to say and was very generous with his time. He was in the shop every time I visited and made time to talk always.

My condolences. The world is diminished by his loss.

Terri-- Mike and I are sorry for your loss. I hope your memories soften your sadness.

The Trimble Family would like to offer our condolences for your Father-Grandfather Floyd Dreyer Jr. I and my brother own the Second Oldest Honda Dealership in Minnesota which my Father founded and we lost him 9 years ago. I know it's hard when you lose somebody you have worked with and been so close for that many years. GODSPEED Jr.!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I will miss our talks both at the store and as my neighbor. Prayers Doug & Penny “Prichard” Cassetty.

Bought my first and many Honda's from Junior. Very classy individual. My sympathy to the Family.

The Stouts were very good friends to Junior bought many cycles there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. RIP Junior.

I bought my first motorcycle from you in the fifties and many many more through the years. You will be greatly missed

Pop and Junior could build any thing. They built the car that won the 1912 5oo by looking at a picture.
Midget racing was very popular after WW11. Junior and Joe Collins would rebuild a Ford Ferguson engine after every race. A replica of a Dreyer midget with a Ford engine is in The Ford Garage Restaurant on 146th Street.
West Washington Street was a very popular place on a Saturday with a lot of people watching Pop and Junior prepare their Big Car for a race on Sunday. They would fire it up and Pop would drive around the block, to the entertainment of the dogs and kids in the neighborhood.
Pop and Junior had the vision to start Dreyer Honda, still capably managed by Mike after 62 years.
We love you Junior.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We are so thankful for the memories and time shared together. We love you and will be deeply missed.

Terri, on behave of your graduation class, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike and Terri and their families. Uncle Junior was one of the best. I have so many fond memories of the family reunions hosted by Uncle Junior and Aunt Louise. He will be missed. May he Rest In Peace. Love, Debby and George

Jr and family moved next door when I was maybe 6-7 years old and allowed me to have opportunities that I otherwise would never have had. Jr "Ollie" and Pop taught me a work ethic, mechanical skills, and gave me knowledge that has benefited me throughout my life. I will always be grateful to the Dreyer family. As for some of the stories that Tom Terry referenced, you just had to be there. " Brake later and gas it sooner" you might not win the race, but you will win the respect of your competitors.

I bought a 1967 BSA motorcycle at Dreyer's on Washington St. when I was 16 years old.
Sorry, for your loss

Mr.Dreyer “Junior” always made me feel welcome. It was a pleasure to catch him and Mike at the shop to share some adventure stories growing up with Duane and several “Westsliders”. Safe to say Pop, Junior, Duane, and all their Eternal Racing Buddies working on making Godspeed just a little faster.Been an Honor and Privilege to know the Dreyer Family

Motorcycling, racing and Indiana have lost a great one. The Dreyer name is iconic, and Junior was one of the true pioneers of Hoosier motorcycling. His knowledge and wit made for some wonderful stories. Junior’s wisdom and historic perspective are irreplaceable. Just look for West Washington Street in heaven, and I’m sure that you’ll find Junior, Pop and Duane building some fast stuff. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends.
Ride in Peace Junior.

My dad grew up with the Dreyer family and he bought me my first motorcycle at Dreyers. Prayers for the family.

I’m so deeply sorry to learn the passing of Junior. I have a lot of memories being around Junior over the years. He built my first quarter midget race car which I still proudly have. Being at the shop over my early years hanging around with Mike, see Pop and Junior are great memories. I enjoyed going over talking to Pop as he worked on his sidecars. I remember being at the house on 34th street, Junior always had a car in the garage he was building, he never stopped working.
Later years I’d see Junior out for breakfast or dinner at least once a week sometimes more. I swear no matter where we’d go to eat, we’d walk in and there was Junior with his hand in the air waving. He always raised his hand and said hi, we’d have a short chat.

Pop, Junior and Mike are apart of my memories that I will always cherish. Growing up around the shop and being a small part of their inner circle was very special. I learned so many things from the Dreyer family, I’m so glad I got to know them. Junior and Pop were two of the smartest and most skillful men I’ve ever met. Mike showed he inherited ever bit of their knowledge and skills as well.

With God Speed Floyd Jr Dreyer and may you Rest In Peace. You had a good run!

I am very happy that I had the honor of taking care of Junior he was my buddy and I will miss him tremendously . Love you Junior

Sold me my first bike! Remember him telling me before I left to keep the tire side down. Had many great trips on the bike and all tires down! Thanks and rest easy Jr.

So sorry to hear. Many fond memories over the years from hanging out at the shop and from the many family reunions he hosted over the years.

So sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of JR and Louise! I'm sure my dad and JR are catching up!

Rest in peace if it weren't for you we could have never done the summar Streamliner.

Unveiling, dedication and celebration of the IRMA 'Pop" Dreyer monument on April 21, 2018 on W. Washington Street.

Thanks for everything you taught Duane and I growing up around your house! I will always miss your stories, and boy there were plenty. God Speed Jr

Great to be able to say i have known the family since i was 12 years old. All good memories for sure. All my thoughts are with your family in these hard times.

My parents met JR & Louise at church. They played cards together and celebrated many 4th of Julys at the Dreyer home. My dad worked at Dreyer Honda after his retirement. Such a great family. He will be missed by many.

Floyd went to my church,went to school with his kids,raced 1/4 midgets with Mike great man

We purchased many Honda motorcycle and 4-wheelers from Junior for our family. Dreyers also felt our home as well. Junior treated everyone especially the ladies with great respect. Even after my husband passed I discussed motorcycles with Junior to get his expert opinion. We will miss him dearly. The Buckwheat, Janice, Kim and McMahon Family. ❤

I bought the 1st Trike Dreyer built. Duane ordered it and Michael's shop built it. Everytime I stopped in Junior would ask how many miles I had on it and frown, saying I should ride it more! It proudly carries a Dreyer license plate frame in Texas now. And those stories he had, oh my, would keep us in stitches. I especially liked the ones about the Unsers. Loved him so.

My Dad Ed Ward knew Pop and JR. I was introduced in 1975 Lone Star JR I called him. I have had many Dreams come true in that shop on W. Washington St. Frim XR75, atc 110, xl185, cb550, cb900, cb100f, vtx1300c. Rest Easy my Friend Much Love to the Family...

Great family.

GOD Bless the Dreyer family in this time of a GREAT LOSS , Please except my condolences Mike and Missy , really miss the camaraderie of the best place I have ever worked , old Blankitty Blank as JR called me said that !

So very sorry to hear. Loving
Prayers sent to the family

Junior was a fine of person you would ever meet plus he was a 60 plus Master Mason. RIP my brother

I ones told Jr. that a four wheeler I bought from them was the most dependable machine I ever owned. All he said was it's a Honda isn't it.

So sorry Mike. One of the best guys I ever got to know. Will send a pray you and your family way.

Very sorry to hear this, will truly be missed by all especially at the Honda shop prayers for the family

Very sad to hear about Junior's passing. He was a man that supported auto racing in many ways especially behind the scenes. His knowledge, friendship and encouragement for the Harry Miller Club will be missed. On behalf of the Harry Miller Club, condolences to the Dreyer family. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and hugs in this time of sorrow.

So sorry to hear this news. JR sold me several motorcycles and was a friend that I will always remember. He was an amazing man. Prayers for the entire family.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of JR. He was always an awesome presence in the shop. He gave me advice on many occasions. JR was right on every occasion! Every time I spoke with him, he reminded me of my grandfather, always showing great respect and patience with everyone. I am so sorry for the Dreyer’s loss! JR was a good Christian man, and is with God now! His presence can never be replaced! I will always remember the years that I worked @ Dreyer Motorsports. God Speed JR!!!

Bought my 1st motorbike from him in 1973

I remember going to “Uncle Floyd’s” and hanging out with my cousins. Uncle Floyd had a dog named “dammit” and it was the only time I was allowed to use that word, of course calling for the dog! I also remember the home made ice cream at the reunions, 4th of July and spending the night with Duane! The smell of fiberglass always takes me back! Oh! And the Christmas movies on 8mm! So many great memories to mention them all. Thanks for being my uncle and getting me interested in 2 wheeled vehicles and Engineering if not Purdue (Mike!). Tell aunt Louise I miss her and love ya both! “Big Al”

Junior had a life well lived and touched many throughout his journey of life. His legacy lives on with subsequent generations of the Dreyer family and in the memories of all he touched during his almost 91 years with us. God’s speed to you my friend.

Rest In Peace Junior you will be missed by so many people including myself ..

I remember driving to work at Dreyer Honda one morning and had stopped at a stoplight While waiting for the light to change I was tapped from behind !

As I was getting mad I looked into my rear view mirror to see your smiling face waving at me I think I laughed out loud and when we arrived at work he told me rubbin is racing ! I will never forget that or Junior !!

My condolences to his family and friends !

I'm so sorry to hear this news. JR was the kindest man and always took time to give me some great words of wisdom in the fewest amount of words. I will forever cherish my time spent with him. GOD SPEED SIR!
