JOHN GUNTHER

As Commodore of the Skipper's Club, Brevard County Florida, in the late 90's, I was approached by a gentleman I did not know and never met. Bob and his lovely wife, Teta would become members under my sponsorship, and he would eventually become Commodore of the club himself.

I had no idea of the storied past he had as a life long member of the New York Yacht Club, and skipper of a tall ship he sailed across the Atlantic, to join the fleet for the US Centennial in 1976. He was...

I met Bob in 1967 at the DRUPA exhibition in Dusseldorf.
I was impressed by his piercing blue eyes and
by his knowledge and command of the matters we reviewed.
We kept seeing each other, whenever he had occasion to visit Europe.
When I expressed interest in coming to the States with my family, he not only offered
me the opportunity to work in his company but
he started the process for our green cards.
Working with him was a challenge, a thrill, a
rewarding and learning...

Mr. GUNTHER WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN, WHO WAS VERY CAREING AND UNDERSTANDING, AND WILL BE TRUELY MISSED. R.I.P. SINCERELY TONY & IRENE

As a nephew of "Uncle Bob" I remember his active and healthy lifestyle and great love he had for Teta and his family. One of my memories was when I was a young boy and took the train from Rhode Island ,Uncle Bob picked me up in his vintage Rolls Royce. What a thrill for a young boy! I enjoyed many Thanksgiving dinners at Rockbound and I'm thankful for the time spent with the Gunthers. He will ne missed and remembered fondly.
