Robert Stomel

I worked with Joe in the early 2000's through Military Sales and Services. I remember the first time he came to Dallas to meet with me, and the first thing he wanted to do was get a Jack In The Box meal and one of those Jack car antenna balls. We stopped as we left the airport and he couldn't wait to put it on his newly renovated vintage Mustang. Bob was a really great guy and he is deeply missed.

I worked with Bob many years ago at Huffy, as I read through other friends writing about Bob the common thoughts I see is his heart-warming smile, his kindness and his thoughtfulness of others and I agree. If I was down Bob would make attempts to cheer with a silly joke and his big smile. A memory I have of Bob is he would often stop at Tim Hortons and bring the gang Tim Bits! I picture Bob and Bill Smith in heaven with their Tim Bits and chocolate chip cookies - the goodies they were...

I am saddened by the passing of my dear Huffy work friend, Bob Stomel. We chatted almost daily covering a wide variety of subjects from work, bikes, people etc. My most recent prayer was that Bob would be able to celebrate his 60th birthday (June) . That did not happen - he will be missed !!

I always remember Bob for whenever he would pick me up at the airport, his car was always spotless & impeccable. Bob too was a man of impeccable character, a rare account manager who understood not only the marketplace but the specific needs of his customers. They broke the mold when they made Bob. Truly an unique, humble and gregarious human being. RIP Bob.

May his memory be a blessing.

Bob had a profound impact on my life. His presence and personality made working in the bicycle industry seem like it could be a real profession. As a young 17 yr old seeing Bob in his 20´s making a difference and doing what he loved drove me to know there was more to tuning derailleurs in my future. I hold 3 people at the top of my list of people who influenced me in my career. Bob is one of those 3. I may not have expressed it but he absolutely influenced the course of my life. Thank you for...

Bob was a true friend and source of support during my time at Huffy and beyond. He will be missed.

I didn´t know Bob personally but by his enormous reputation in the industry. Very sad news. My deepest condolences to his family.

I am so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a wonderful friend to me in my time at Huffy. His laughter was contagious and that smile was beyond heart warming. You will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved you. Sincerest condolences to Susan and the boys.
