Bobby Black

Chuck Norton · 02-04-2011, 05:01 PM

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.

Thank you all for the kind words. He was a great man and an even better dad. Words can't explain how I am feeling right now.

For you local guys, his showing will be held at Hall Baker Funeral Home in Plainfield Indiana on Tuesday, Feb. 8 from 4 pm to 8 pm and the burial will be Wednesday at 11am.

Danny, so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a real gentleman. At the track if I saw him coming my way I knew we would have a pleasant conversation.
