I remember Bob when he was a city fireman, and he got burned very bad in a fire and couldn't continue as a fireman anymore. After that, he became a barber and worked at Vic's Barbershop on Franklin St. near the old Judd's drug store and he used to cut my hair there when I was a teenager. He was a nice guy. May you rest in peace, Bob.
