Favorite Bob story was when the maroon and gold painted college boy ran up to his truck at an ASU game and told Bob he was "going to put him under the influence of Sun Devil fever", Bob's reply "if you dont get the hell out of my way, I'm going to put you under the influence of a choke hold". All us boys loved him and his humor. He will be missed
