RIP Randy Graf (joeangelo's father & ITOBA board member)

Postby Roguelet » Thu Jan 15, 2009 7:39 am

Randy Graf, father of PQ member joeangelo, and also respected horseman, ITOBA Board member, and ITOBA past Vice-President, sadly passed away early Tuesday morning.

I have held off posting this news in order to give joeangelo a little time; but I really feel that it's important for him to know that his fellow PQ-ers are here for him.

I also feel it's important to publicly recognize Randy and give him the respect that he deserves. He worked hard to further the horse industry in Indiana, and was involved in the industry as both a race horse owner and breeder. He will be sorely missed.

Joeangelo, please know that we are here for you; and you know how to contact me if you need anything.
