[6/22] I just found out about Bob's passing. During my time living in Silver Spring, Bob was a great friend, and we always enjoyed getting together to talk cars.
I am pleased to note that Suzy was Bob's wife. I always hoped that would happen! And Suzy, if you see this message, please feel free to contact me; [email protected].
