Not sure what to say?

I know Bob died two years ago but I miss him as a friend. I ate at CanCan every Friday and Saturday night. We shared many things but I truly miss our close relationship and especially advice. I know you are resting in Richmond and Iow. Do not ruin the food and atmosphere at Can Can. Keep it first class and very French. A close friend-Bob Copeland

What a terrific gentlemen. I went through the Signals Intelligence Officers class 08117 at Goodfellow AFB (San Angelo, TX) with Bob from 1967-8. He, a fellow named Bud Blount, and I were great friends. When not in class or studying we sought out hole in the wall Tex Mex places and ate hot, spicy salsas til tears streamed down our faces. We loved good food and would drive out to Lowake, TX to eat at a famous steak house there. From Goodfellow Bob went to Berlin while I went to Fukuoka,...

So sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. My family loved Bob and we had many good times in DC, Northern Virginia and Richmond. My daughter Sasha loved her "Uncle Bob." I did too as he was always so appreciative of my Southern cooking and hospitality.

I met Bob in 1998. I was selling wine in VA, DC, MD & DE. He instantly became a good & fun friend and one of my top customers. Addio amico mio, riposi in pace.

Bob was a close friend, confidant, traveling companion and drinking buddy for well over 20 years. Always upbeat, positive and encouraging in every, and all situations. Bob lifted the bar for all of us as human beings. It was an honor and a pleasure being his friend.

After over 50 years of friendship I will be missing Bob so much, on our annual visits at the beach.

I can't believe it. Bob was such a great great guy. He wrote me a recommendation to business school. He was my predecessor at the legal department at VHDA and he was always great to be around. He and Don Ritenour allowed my ex and I to use their place at N. Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, we kind of lost touch over the last several years. Thanks Bob and RIP !

Bob was a great gift to us! He increased our knowledge of wine and France! The wine dinners at Can Can were a highlight because of him. Thank you dear friend and praying the Lord´s peace for your family.

I celebrate Bob's life today. I met Bob Talcott at Tobacco Company as a waitress in the late 80's, we formed a friendship over numerous dinners. I learned the art of fine dining and wine pairing at an early age thanks to his knowledge and guidance. In the late 80's, Bob invited me to join him in New York City. He wanted to try a restaurant called The Odeon in Tribeca and then go to Aria. As a New Yorker, I now know that was the most sophisticated, under the radar, hottest ticket in town....
