I never knew the family but Bob called on me when I was the parts manager at Premier Cycles in Greenville, SC during the early and mid 1980s. I remember Bob as a first class gentleman that always tried to do the right thing. When I graduated from Clemson and was going to leave to dealership to start my engineering career Bob gave me a top of the line helmet as a graduation gift. I'll never forget that. I'll pray for the family.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I remember Bob from when he was on dialysis with my husband, Larry Waldrop. I lost Larry in 1981 and remember Bob as a kind gentleman. I am sorry for your loss.
