Sadly, “Radio Bob” Hynes founder of RLH Communications and “BFG Radio Relay” passed away late Friday afternoon August 15, 2008. Complications from pneumonia sent him to the big radio tower in the sky.   He is survived by his wife Mary and children Kenny, Glen and Lori. Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized.

“Radio Bob”, the skinny little radioman with a voice larger than a gorilla provided radio communications for more than 28 years to the off-road racing community. Over the years, RLH Communications has provided radio equipment to thousands of race teams for all types of sporting events. Sometimes cranky, he was always willing to go the extra mile to help someone. Bob loved all types of racing events, but his favorite was the off-road races.  He was so committed to helping racers, that he was giving orders from his hospital bed until last week.
