Rick D'Louhy passed away November 30th, 2016

1. With great sadness I have to announce the sudden passing last night of Rick D'Louhy. If you were at ANY Car Cruise or Car Show, you would have seen Rick walking around passing out flyers in one of his colorful shirts that he would always wear and talking to his many friends who would be there. You couldn't miss him. He was the guy with the huge smile on his face, a hand full of flyers and he was about 6 ft 5 inch's tall. He was everywhere promoting some kind of car show. Anything car related. He was also the founder of the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise. I'm not sure of the exact amount of years that Rick and I were friends, but probably at least 25 years. Such a Smart, Kind, Happy man. I will miss his Huge smile and hearing his "HEY PAT" as we would pass each other at Car Show. RIP Rick. I will miss you.

I am at a loss for words to adequately describe my sadness in announcing Joyce’s passing this morning, peacefully, at home with her daughter Jacque and me, after an epic struggle with cancer, and with a fierce determination to live every minute to its fullest, until her energy was totally spent.

I know that I can speak for the rest of her family in thanking all of you who have been close enough to support Joyce and us during the very difficult past sixteen months of her twenty year ordeal. The constant stream of visitors to our home the past three weeks is in itself a fine tribute to this wonderful woman, my wife, my love, my Joyce.

I had just talked with Bob last week I  knew he had some serious problems from Vietnam that has plagued him for years. He was my best friend in High School we did most everything together. Let me know if you hear anything else on this. His brother Craig also passed away earlier this year, again unknown causes!

Linda Vandeven Beidleman
I'm sorry to hear of Bob's passing!!!  He was a good friend of mine in high school.  The last time I saw him was when he got back from Viet Nam, we had a long talk about his tour.  My prayers are with his family.

Thank you for letting us know

I'm so sorry to get this terrible news. Rob was a good friend back in
the day and we had been talking on Face book recently. We were up north
last week so I just saw this. I talked with him about a week ago. I know
he struggled with PTSD and friends on face book were encouraging him
with helpful words. It's sad to see an old friend go.
I won't forget the good times we had
My condolences to everyone who feels the loss of a courageous man.
