SCCBC Forum - Sad Sad News

bunracer Ex Member	Sad Sad News Feb 15^th, 2012 at 10:58am I don't really want to be the one to post this nor am I sure I should be, but I have just been informed through my associates that Robert Currie has passed away. I can't tell you how shocked and saddened I am from this news. My most heartfelt condolences to his family. Paul

Robert was a fine man, an excellent member of our club, an excellent Clerk of the Course, and an all around really good guy. He will be greatly missed. Mike

Robert Currie was a true and faithful friend. He was on the executive of SCCBC when we built the track at Mission. He was on the remarkable SCCBC team at Indy. At many times he was not only my right hand, he was also my left. And he was not shy about telling me that was so.
I can not imagine our sport without him, our club without him, our lives without him. Any race day that he missed, he was conspicuous by his absense. We all missed him. He would be embarrassed if he told him so.
We will still be looking for him every race day. We can not say goodbye. There are too many memories that will keep us together.
Love Pam and Ray

Piper down. Sincerely, our thoughts are with the Currie home. The Arthurs

I remember those enduro days at Mission when you and your smiles in the pits and I be standing next to you at drivers meetings have to look up at you. Way UP! You are a great ambassador to racing and will be greatly missed.
