Hilly Rife - Seventy Years - 9/1/97
I don't believe in all my life
I've met a man like Hilly Rife
I don't know why they named him Hilly
Instead
of John or Jack or Billy
I'll tell you why as best I can
He's not an ordinary man
In his Stetson hat and black cigar
You can recognize him from afar
And the tales he tells of what he's done
Of the planes he's flown and races won
Don't ever have a single doubt
He'll show you proof that he has
clout
|
| Becky & Hilly |
He's kind and generous and loving too
To everyone He ever knew
His promotion skills are at the top
He'll work
until he's about to drop
There was a time, it was the talk
If he didn't die, he'd never walk
But Hilly showed
them he had grit
and all of them were full of S--t
|
| Bill France JR |
With Becky as his charming wife
They've led a most exciting life
They had three children along the way
They've
all grown up, oh happy day
|
| Debbie & Rex |
First came Hilly Jr. the namesake of his dad
And then along came Vicki, that made them very glad
But the family
wasn't finished, they had another boy
They named the baby Larry - a new one to enjoy

So here after seventy years
Filled with blood and sweat and tears
He's full of pep and going strong
Ever ready
to talk or sing-a-long
So Hilly,as we celebrate your birth
As a friend, we can't express your worth
You're a real joy to be around
And your past experiences abound
It's folks like you that are the stars
Who made the sport of racing cars
As monumental as it has become
You're an Icon with a missing thumb
I'll place you first of all the rest
Because to us, you are the
best.
Happy Birthday
Jim & Edith Emmons
