Robert L. "Bob" Biggs

Bob was a good man. He lived a great and exciting life. He traveled all over the world living life to the fullest. He’s done everything from hunting wild bore in Turkey, eating at the finest restaurants in Germany to hiking the mountains of Peru. He piloted some of the Air Force’s finest aircraft so well that he ended up as an instructor. He was always willing to share his knowledge to anyone that would ‘listen’. I would often ask him how he could remember something word for word that he may...

Bob Biggs was one of my customers on my mail route and I considered him a friend. He told me many stories about his life from his childhood to being in the Air Force. Bob was a very interesting and skilled person. I've known Bob for over well 15 years and I will miss him. His death was a surprise to me, I spoke to him just a few days ago. God Bless Bob.

I am very saddened by the passing of Bob. I knew him thru my friend Mike
Murray. Bob was the most knowledgeable person I have ever known when it comes to repairing or restoring most anything.
It's a shame that Bob never wrote a book about his knowledge of Old
Firetrucks. I have always thought that Bob probably knew more about
American LeFrance than most people at American LeFrance. The
restoration community has truly lost one of it's brightest stars.
