Bob was a great mechanic, but even more important, he was a really good man. With a wife, three kids and four older cars, I kept him plenty busy, but he was always really fair and reasonable and willing to fix things at the last minute for me. But what I will miss most is going to pick up my car, and hanging around talking with him and listening to all of his great stories about life and about people. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
