And Benny Parsons is in ICU, battling his lung cancer.Bobby and his son, or sometimes his wife used to come to Lebanon quite a bit to eat dinner out. He was gracaious as he could be, and would sign anything you asked, IF you waiting until after he had dinner. Interrupting dinner assured you didn't get an autograph. I never asked for an autograph, but I did talk to him a few times....Last time I saw him was a few months after he won the Truck championship.....congradulating him on that got an ear-to-ear grin that lit his face like it was Christmas morning......Rest in Peace Bobby.

I sure hate to hear that news. I liked him. His son is a little bull dog. Like him too. Too bad about Benny also. Maybe he will recover.
