Read MoreBob was a great friend, always greeted everyone with a smile and was ready to answer any question regarding guns. A great American and firm believer in the second amendment . He is missed at the range and at the Legion post 454 meetings. He said , he liked his martini extra, extra dry, also saying, he wasn`t much interested in the drink , it was the olive he was after. I think he was pulling my leg .

Bob and I met in 1985 when I was first retained by Savage Arms to defend the company in several products liability lawsuits here in Michigan. We became very good friends and worked closely together both in Westfield and in Michigan when two of these cases were tried before juries in Detroit and Grand Rapids. Bob was key to the successful resolution of both cases, serving as the company designated representative at trial and as an expert witness. He was a gentleman of unassailable honesty...

Bob was a friend and fellow alumnus of Savage, a walking encyclopedia of gun knowledge. I had the privilege of close association with him as sales/marketing counterpart in launching the famous model 110. Loved to meet him in later years and just talk about guns and experiences at Savage. He was a straight shooter in every sense of the word Blessings and condolences to Dorothy and Robert, Jr.

Bob had great sense of humor. He said that he shot down 3 airplanes at Pearl Harbor and that he was pretty sure that at least one of them was Japanese. He went on to say that Navy pilots didn't find the story quite so funny.

When I met Bob at Westfield Sortsman's Club, he was shooting a Savage M/110 rifle. To strike up a conversation, I said, "I see you're shooting a Savage 110, those are under rated rifles." He replied, "Thank you." Thinking he misunderstood, I walk closer and repeated myself. He said, "I heard you the first time, I designed this rifle." We were friends ever since.
He frequented the high power rifle matches there and was kind enough to assist the instructors at Smith & Wesson Academy...

It was an honor to have known Bob. I will always remember our long chats when he came to visit us at Savage Arms. He was so knowledgeable. RIP
