As most of you can imagine this is very hard for me so I just wanna hit some high notes.
Travis and I rode up and down the highway many miles and years together. We spoke of everything from racing to religion. I have so many memories and goodtimes I could write a book. Everynite after the races none of my crew even offered to sit up front in the truck while I drove to the next track because they knew it was time for Travis and I to go over our thoughts and evaluate our preformance for the evening.
Travis could help you get through anything! He would give you the best car everynite and he could tell just by your actions if he need to give you some emotional support or just tell you to "man up and drive" this damn thing! He was the smartest guy I have ever had involved in my race team.
We accomplished alot of our goals together. We were well on our way of many more when the Indy world got wind of Travis Bickel. It was always his dream. Travis was a goal setter and there was never a person or an obsticle that could stand in his way.
I could go on and on but this is getting very hard for me so I will end this with a thought.
There must be something or someone in Heaven that needed his help and he is going there to accomplish yet another goal!
"See you again Someday my friend" sincerely, Larry Neighbors

Didnt't think that it would be because of you, Larry, but that one got me.
Continue when you wish, as all of you do the same.

Sorry for your loss, at least we can rest assured Travis is in a better place, and Racing with the best of the best. As long as you keep him in your mind and his name on your car, he will always be with you.
God Speed Travis

Blessings to you Larry as well as the Bickel family.
I'm sure upon his arrival he setup some angel with more "wing power" than they'll know how to handle!!!

Larry put it perfectly when he said that "Travis could help you through anything!". He was a great "Crew Chief" and even better friend. Travis only helped Larry for a few years, but we have known him and his loving family almost all our life. There are sooooo many great memories on and off the track, that it would take weeks to tell them all. I am sorry that I can not make it back to the States for the services this weekend, but know that even 2500 miles away, he is deeply missed. My prayers go out to Lisa and his parents. God Speed on your new journeys buddy! Via con Dios!
