Bev, My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I knew Bob through Aero-Metric and it was nice to hear from him every now & then after he retired, he was a busy person and touched many lives.
I remember him at the AME Lake Winnebago ice fishing outing where I think Martin was the only person who caught a fish! Even so a good time was had by all.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Bob was a good friend for over ten years during his visits to his winter home in Vero Beach, Florida. I got to know Bob very well over the years as we traveled together to nearby Cape Canaveral to photograph rocket launches and he would tell me many wonderful stories about his flying days or life in Wisconsin. He was also a great volunteer, helping out in the office of the Pelican Island Audubon Society where his enthusiasm was infectious. My deepest condolences to Bev and the family. Bob touched many lives and will be greatly missed.
