Default Dick Dobson has passed away

I regret to inform the forum that Dick Dobson, the long time chief national scrutineer for PCA club racing, passed away last night.
Dick fought several different medical issues the last couple of years but the last time I saw him last fall he reported that he felt great.
I don't have any further details but expect there will be a funeral sometime this week in Tulsa.
Dick was a great guy and a real asset of PCA CR and Porsche fans in general. I know I'll miss him greatly.

I am so sorry to hear that. I always enjoyed verbally jousting with Dick when I was stuck in the scrutineering line. He was a great guy.

Dick was a great guy and always friendly, even when dealing with all of us middle aged teenagers. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

A real loss for PCA and club racing.

Truly sorry to hear of his passing on, RIP ! Some questions, I guess, will go unanswered.
