Every club has members that come and members that go. However, occasionally, someone joins a club and has a huge impact on the club. Bob Rouleau was that person. Unfortunately, on Friday 12 November Rennsport lost a hard-working member. Many of you know Bob from the Divers’ Education program but he has filled many key roles not directly associated with the track. Yes, Bob joined PCA in 1994 and quicky joined the Drivers’ Education program. Track drivers know Bob as an organizer but also an instructor always willing to take the time to coach any driver that asks for his help. He was a fast, smooth always with impeccable etiquette. The Divers’ Education team has lost a key player.
As I mentioned earlier Bob has filled many other roles within Rennsport. In the mid 1990s he joined the Rennsport board of directors; starting a simple board member but progressing to become the Driving Events Director and finally as the club Treasurer. Many was a monthly meeting that went late into the night as very important issues were discussed. Sometimes these discussions got quite heated. Bob was not shy about conveying his side of a discussion. Another of Bob’s important roles was to represent Rennsport during the two annual meeting of all the PCA clubs (18) in Zone 1. Sometimes Bob went alone or with a small group of Rennsporters. As always, he had big impact on these meetings.
Bob retired from the board last autumn. Bob may no longer be on the Rennsport executive or part of the Track Organizing team but thankfully his presence and influence will be there for years to come.
The Rennsport executive would like to acknowledge Bob contribution to our club and send out our deepest sympathies to the entire Rouleau family.
