HORSEPOWER Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 A few days back I read that the ASALM Series photographer died of a massive heart attack. The entire race weekend was dedicated to the memory of the late Bob Milner. Condolences go out to his family. Did anyone meet this person back in April? http://www.asalatemodels.com/story.asp?StoryID=4948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwill Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Horsepower, Thanks for posting the note about Bob Milner. I hadn't heard. Yes, I did have the pleasure of getting to know Bob before and during the ASA race in April at SAS. He spent some time in the office with us downloading pictures, etc. He was a really nice guy, and I know he will be truly missed by the ASA Late Model Series . . . and by the staff of SAS, especially with the upcoming race in October.

Nice and would help any way he could. He will be missed. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Jeff Garvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhcougs Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I sent an email to someone close to Milner asking if there was a charity that Milner was most fond of, or a location for those of us wishing to do so, send contributions to his memory to. I'll let you know soon as I hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
