I knew Bob from Calder Race track. We were friends for many years. He was a kind hearted person. He once took me & my twins to Disney World when they were young. We all had a great time. We stayed intouch thru the years even after we moved to central FL. He even came to visit us even though he was up in age. We loved him. He was a good man. Patricia Skelton

I enjoyed being your chauffeur so to speak, thanks for lending me a hand when I needed the ride. Liked our time looking at GOP candidates during 2012, and me vouching for Ron Paul. We made some great steaks, and ribeye, always the best. I miss you Bob, took me a while to express, but I am glad that I met you. A former short-term neighbor.
