Bob Holthus has passed away
 

John Asher just let word out. RIP. Sympathies to Bonnie and their three children. More on ATR.

:( so sad. He and Bonnie have been great to me.

Saw him training many a summer in Omaha at Ak-Sar-Ben. Classy, solid midwestern trainer. Sympathies to the family.

R.I.P. Mr. Holthus and prayers of comfort for his family members. Thank you for all the years you brought great entertainment to those of us attending Oaklawn. You helped forge many a career for those who worked under your guidence and direction. You will be sadly missed.:(

This is sad. RIP

Bob was a good guy, someone everyone rooted for.

Very sad to hear this. My condolences to his family on their loss.

Sad news. Rest in peace, Mr. Holthus.

A loss to the sport. Condolences to his family.

I thought he did a great job with Lawyer Ron. Him and John McKee really tore it up that year.:tro:

:(How very sad. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP

Didn't know much about him other than his campaign with Lawyer Ron which was magnificent. God Bless him and his family through this difficult time

If you're blessed with good health be thankful and make the most of your life. Bob didn't have that luxury but was still highly competitive, successful, and respected.

Rest in peace.

Randy Moss, who grew up next door to the Holthus Family in Hot Springs, paid tribute to Bob beautifully today on ATR at the bottom of Hour 3. 8:30a on the replay Thanksgiving morning. Or at Archive.

Out a winner!
