rry to hear of bobs passing. I new him in high school , being intotroduced by my best friend who was dating Trevor his hockey pal.
They were both serious team mates until bob broke his leg is n 3 places. We had good times going to the movies and the usual teenager hangouts.. I don't think he enjoy going fishing with me down on our family farm on the pecatonica river.. We only got a couple carp and when we got back to.pasture where we'd le nice Buick Riviara, we found out my horse had bit a gouge out of his vinyl top.
When I left for college, he even drove down a couple times to give me a ride home. I'll airways remember him as a really good guy.
