Bob was awesome to work for back in the Old Sherwood Forest days! My neighbor Paul Newbern introduced us and he hired me on the spot! I'll never forget how he was always poking fun at no one EVER outselling me on Amoco Washer Fluid for the full service (and other) customers! According to Bob - no one would ever break my record, lol. I never knew he was a musician however - wish we could've jammed! Have a good trip, buddy! I'm sure Roxanne will show you the ropes!

I remember The Invaders, V.C. and the Rebels, playing softball at Woodlawn Park and being out in left field when Bob would come up to bat and knowing he was going to put over the fence again!
Thanks for your friendship and the opportunity to play music with you. I will miss you!

I played in a band with Bob in our high school days. He was a talented man. Hooked back up many years later. Bob, you will always be a fond memory in my heart. Love you and may you fly with the Angels.
