He was a really great guy. He always had a good story for my wife and myself. At times, he was a mentor to me. He will be dearly missed.
The picture is Bob sitting in his Roadster at one the Lansing Car Shows on Oct 26th, 2007. This would be the last time Bob would sit in his beloved car, The Scarlet Cart.
