Sorry to hear of Bob B's passing. He and my brother Bobby Pahs were great friends and my being 7 years younger, I watched their antics thru the years. They and pals drove to Florida after high school graduation for adventure and when they returned they arrived at our farm throwing firecrackers out the car windows. Classic.
You had a full life Bob. Rest in peace.
