I'm ashamed to just hear about this now. Bob was a great guy. I used to live about a mile from him in Morro Bay and would head over to his house to help him out with chores on occasion. He really was a different cat with his, dry, wit. I did enjoy our time together. Bob even helped me setup my living room during my remodel in 2008(employed a pair of his Super Clef's). I ended up moving to North County in 2014 and up to the Sacramento area for work in 2016. Kind of lost touch with him after about 2018 as my career & family life became pretty hectic.
I wish his lovely wife and their extended family the best. The world is truly worse off without him.
I don't log in here any longer and just stumbled across this thread looking up Bob since I hadn't spoken to him in a while & my last email to him went unanswered. Thank you Dan6054 for creating the thread. If you are the person from Minnesota Bob used to talk about, he had nothing but good things to say about you.
