Colt15 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I couldnt believe this when I heard the bad news. Robert was a good friend. I remember the first ever ROMCO race I won when I got out of the car he was one of the first guys to congradulate me. Always had a smile on his face and never let anything bring him down. He will be missed. -Colt James RIP #12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was hoping the same as you Shawn, that it was the wrong guy. But, unfortunately this time it was him. Like the others said if you did'nt know him you missed out. He always had that big ol' smile on his facing and it made you wonder what he was up too. He always seemed to be there if you needed help, to say Hi or congradulate you on a win. I usually knew he was at the track cause he would climb up in the flag stand with Randy and help him out or pester him or maybe a little of both. Robert you will be missed.

LLM4FAN Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Robert was a very near and dear friend. This news weighs heavy on not only myself, but many of my family memebers. Robert will be greatly missed. He was always a pleasant person and first to lend a helping hand when needed. The Reyes family will be in our hearts and prayers always. R.I.P. #12 We love and miss you Robert! You will forever be remembered. Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodel4 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Christina you are right this is very hard to handle! It is still hard to believe or should I say I don't want to believe it. Robert was a wonderful person that always made you smile. I remember some of the good times and bad such as the time when he won his first feature race, the man when CRAZY and then had a good ol' time afterwards. Robert will always be missed and forever remembered. Monoco you and your family are in my prayers. Krissy R.I.P #12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will miss him very much Every time I see a race car with Number 12 on it I will think of Robert, and what a great guy he was. Monico, our prayers go out to you and your family.Monico you raised a great boy, and some one who will be greatly missed by many people.

wkr77 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 My heart goes out to all of Robert's Friends, and Family. I had to read the post twice before I could actually grasp it. I am still in shock and deeply saddend by this. Robert, you were like another brother to me, and will be missed greatly. You always looked at life in a positive way, and taught me to do the same. I don't know quite how to handle all of this, but know that you will never be forgotten... Rest In Peace #12 Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobby74 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I am not going to lie the first time we heard this last year I freaked out and was blowing roberts phone up. He finally called me back to say that it took him that long to call because everybody was calling him. This time it just did not feel right when I saw this on the news. I jumped up and pulled up keye and watched the news again and again on the computer. I could only wish that it was not true but it seems that the racing community lost a great guy. I and everboby that knows robert will miss him very much at the race track and in our everyday lives. Robert was a great guy and allready missed. I will miss you Robert R.

RodneyRodriguez Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I couldn't believe it when I got the call last night. I had talked to Robert not too long ago and we joked about our "semi-retirements" and comebacks. This guy kept it fun and will be missed. My family passes on our thoughts to Monaco and all the family. Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
