“I worked for and with Dyke at Centennial & Cloverleaf for about 20 years. So may great memories! When he was asked to run the mutuel department in Nebraska, he couldn't go so sent me instead. It was there I meat my future wife. Dyke was responsible for my career, wife and family. In later years we talked a couple of times a year. He was my role model and best friend - God bless you Dyke.
