A Great man who will be missed by many. .
Sending the entire family many thoughts and healing prayers! He was a great guy and will be missed by all who knew him ! You will never be forgotten!
Our sympathy to you. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart breaks hearing the news. He was such a great man and the best great uncle ever. I will never forget my trip to Omaha with grandma Goldie and Ardith. So many memories were made. Hugs to you Phyllis and the rest of the crew. Know that we are all thinking about you from up here in Minnesota. Love you to all.
Rallen was blessed with a wonderful family, He will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him. Lots of love to all of you.
Rallen was quite a guy, when I first started at Zeitner it was like he took a personal interest in me. He took time to talk to me and was interested in what I had to say. But I have to say he did have his moments and quite a temper at times. Definitely will be missed.
Rallie was a customer of mine and as it happens (with a few) he became a good friend. I will say he was a Gentleman and very fair with all of his dealings. He was always setting at that picnic table in the shop so his employees and drivers could talk with him. I was fortunate to talk with him a couple of months ago. I’m proud to have known him.
My condolences to Phyllis, the boys and all of the family.
Was just a kid when I first seen the Yellow cowboy hat
Was always nice to me .
He will be missed

On behalf of the former owenership of Eagle Raceway, condolences on your loss.
I got to know the Zeitner brothers back when I worked with Howard at the CCS and can attest they were among the most liked and respected racers and gentlemen. My condolences to this fine family and my thanks for racing here in Denison.
I grew up watching Rallie race at Brookings Speedway in Brookings, SD. I just remember thinking what a great racing name. Still think it’s cool to see the yellow trucks with the checkered flag graphic. My condolences on his passing.
