An affluent businessman recently passed away, leaving a dent in the horse racing world. He was a prominent gentleman from Minnesota who died abruptly but left a big imprint on his countrymen. This gentleman was not only a very successful breeder but also an owner of Imagine Print Solutions, but also a personification of determination and kindness. He received a strong upbringing on work ethics.
Against all odds, Bob Lothenbach was a force to be reckoned with and did well, receiving accolades such as being awarded the October 2020 Thoroughbred Owners and Breeder?s Association (TOBA) Member of the Month Award. His passion for bettering society went beyond his professional achievements, but unfortunately, he died today on the 15th of November, leaving behind an unparalleled legacy anyone can seldom replicate.
