So sad to hear about Bob´ passing. I knew him from the Jonnet Flea Market in Blairsville over the last 15 years. We always talked about baseball, mostly past players more so than current ones. We talked every time we saw each other there and it was always pleasant conversation. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
