Some of you may know of his passing, if not we lost one of the original dirty dozen and a half. He was a dear friend of mind for 30 years. He will be dearly missed.

I was so very sad to see this. Mr. Bob and Mrs. Barbara would attend every American Legion game during summers as well. I remember them being so nice to me all the way back when I was a bat boy for my brother's team. They were two of the kindest people and true baseball fans.

It does my heart good to know that some remember Bob. One of a kind.
