David, I am so sorry to hear about your dad passing away, he was a good man. I still remember the first dirt track race he took me (us) to down at Riverside Speedway. That one time and he had me hooked on dirt. And I still have the pictures that he and your mom gave me of Rex and my mom and dad. If you need anything I am just down the hill from you.
David,
How lucky we were to have shared in the life of Dan Cole. To have known the laugh and infectious smile. If ever a man deserved a title of ‘a great man’ Dan did. He will be missed but never forgotten.
David, We are so sorry to hear about Dan Passing. He was a wonderful man. We sure will miss him. It will not be the same without seeing him driving down the field in his little truck to check on everything. He always was checking on us also. I know he is with Paula and they are Happy. If you need us we are just arcoss the field. Take care and God Bless.
It was always a pleasure to work with Dan. He was a joy be around, and he would help you any way he could. He will be missrd.
