such a nice/sweet man that had a giant heart and giant laugh! I remember when he brought the boys in to my pizza place and I made him make the pizza's - he did it but what a mess he made ! He and Judy were always so sweet to my son Jason who was Page's friend and did so many fun things with the kids. My heart goes out to all of you - Judy, PJ and Pudge - Be strong and let the fond memories guide you through this sadness.

Always, Joyce Mavar

My deepest condolences to the family. As a 13-year-old fan attending my first big race, the '67 Times Grand Prix, RIR didn't disappoint. Parnelli's spirited drive in Bignotti's underdog T70 Ford that day continues to inspired me. About perseverance. Tenacity. I was fortunate to have met him at the Petersen Museum, early 2000's. He indulged me with a leisurely chat about that race and Indy, '67. My wife of 35 years was recently diagnosed with PD. We will persevere.

I would like to send PJ and Jagger a special message- your Dad was incredibly proud of you - he often called Bob to see if he was following your career PJ and of course he was- then Parnelli called about young Jagger- you brought him to the school after Graduation Bob called Parnelli "He´s a going to be a champion just like you Parnelli - maybe bigger- get him with the right team owner - he´s the best young driver I´ve ever trained" and coming from Bob that was huge.
Judy my heart goes out to you, it´s so hard losing our special husbands, but I can bet Parnelli already found Bob , the Unsers and all the guys in Race Heaven. I can see a smiling Bob saying "You just go through the Pearly Gates and the track will be in the left" They are all very happy to welcome Parnelli , trust me
