We were very saddened to hear of the recent passing of Dick Decker.

His love and passion for snowmobiling could be felt no matter where you met him. We snapped a quick shot of Legend George, Dick Decker, and Dave Sarna sharing a toast to the sport last year at World Championship Snowmobile Derby.

Cheers to Dick Decker, a snowmobile legend, may he RIP.

We were saddened to learn of the Legend, Richard Decker’s passing today on April 4, 2024. The World Championship Derby Complex extends our deepest condolences to the entire Decker family. Richard loved snowmobiling and "The Derby Track"... let's honor Richard by sharing photos and memories in the comments below 👇🏻

We were saddened to learn of Richard Decker’s passing today on April 4, 2024. ISHOF extends our deepest condolences to his entire family. 🔷 Richard loved snowmobiling… from trail rides and tours to promotion and racing – everything about it!
Dick is back together with Audrey now - May your trail in heaven be smooth and never ending!!
RIP ~ Richard Decker.
Richard "Dick" and Audrey Decker – were inducted together as promoters into the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame in 2001. ❄️ Richard has been on the ISHOF Board of Directors for many years.
Richard and Audrey Decker started snowmobiling with a 1964 Ski-Doo. Since then, they have been active in snowmobiling, racing, owning a snowmobile dealership, starting "Team Oasis" (which turned into the Ambassadors of Snowmobiling) and becoming active members of the Iron Dog Brigade. Richard has served as President of the United States Snowmobile Association (USSA) and the first Vice President of the World Snowmobile Federation. He was voted "Iron Dog Snowmobiler of the Year" in 1993 and one of the "25 Who Made a Difference in Snowmobiling." Audrey helped to start the first Women on Snow in Eagle River. They were dubbed "The Original Ambassadors of Snowmobiling" in 1989 by Snowmobile Magazine. They also belong to two (2) Michigan, a Wisconsin and a Canadian Snowmobile Club. Richard and Audrey brought a new level of expertise to the tourism industry and helped spread the "family fun" concept of snowmobiling internationally. They embarked on creating a selection of tours that appealed to veteran and novice snowmobilers as well as those who weren't even sure what a snowmobile was. They expanded the boundaries of snowmobiling beyond the North America to include Europe, Iceland, Lapland and the former Soviet Union. Their tours have been voted "Best in the Snowbelt" by the readers of Snow Goer magazine for at least five (5) consecutive years. In 1981, Richard led the Ambassadors of Snowmobiling from St. Paul, MN to Valcourt, Quebec, Canada carrying a flag from President Ronald Reagan to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The Eagle River Derby Track, purchased by Richard and Audrey in 1985, hosts World Championship snowmobile racing each year, an investment in snowmobiling's future which features a unique venue for snowmobile-related events that goes beyond racing.
