The family would LOVE to have the race cars at both the visitation and the funeral. 

Drivers who wish to bring their racecars to the visitation and/or funeral for Hershel, have been given permission to use the northwest corner of the parking lot at Farm and Fleet (5900 John Deere Road) in Moline. 

Drivers who wish to bring their racecars to the visitation or funeral, are also asked to email the funeral home at “vanhoe@vanhoe.com”, so they can estimate the car count. If anyone has questions, please call the funeral home at (309)755-1414.
