I just found out this afternoon about `the Bear´s´ passing. Bob was a great guy,& a really tough & skilled firefighter.
I met the family in Southwest Philly at their family owned & run auto repair shop, which I used on many occasions.
Wishing I had known sooner, my deepest sympathies to Bobby´s family.RIP Bob, until we meet again, God Bless
