[Chuck Norton]

Bobby's nephew, John King has informed me of Bobby's passing a few hours ago following a lengthy battle with cancer. Anyone who knew or raced against Bobby, his son, Danny Black, his brother-in-law, Buddy King, or any of his friends or family in the Avon/Plainfield area of Indiana will realize that the world is a lesser place without Bobby. He was a gentleman and a dedicated racer and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

My family extends heartfelt condolences to the entire extended family and the wide array of friends of Bobby Black. It is, indeed, a sad day.
