I have fond memories of Robert “Bobby” to share with you, Lori. Bobby was only five years old when I married his mother. I loved him as my own son. I enrolled him and took him for his first day of first grade at Pineville Elementary. It was a blessing to raise him to love the Lord Jesus Christ and I rejoiced when he accepted Jesus as his Savior. Later, I had the privilege of coaching him in baseball. I taught him to ride and bought his first motorcycle. There are other memories I could share about him and his sisters and how much joy they gave to my life. I will continue to pray for Bobby’s family, especially you Lori. Ferrell “Daddy” Roton

Hot dog was a dear friend for 40 yrs we played golf together boxed together rode BMX bikes together he was a ccooolll dude for sure .Hotdog was a family man. We texted during racing he was a Jimmy Johnson fan and I was Gordon fan .We were suppose to meet late October at Foresthill speedway for me to watch him race unfortunately it was rained out. I still have his text in my phone saying maybe another time , then I got this news and I was very sad. Rest in Peace Hotdog Hemler, hope to see you soon. I will miss you dearly. Deckman

Friendship is a meaningful word. And when a friend with the name (Hotdog). I could only wish wish I would have met him when he took on that nickname. But in the time I knew him we tailgated PNG football games to enjoy friends getting together as well as becoming good friends for several years at work. He raised a wonderful family and treated his (friends) as family as well. You will be missed by many but not forgotten my friend.
