Bob and I drove his Corvair Chevy to LA in the Early 60’s. A great trip with a great guy. R.I.P Bob you will be missed.

I can never remember uncle Bob without a smile on his face or a story to tell. It was such a blessing to have recently seen Bob & Linda in Charlotte for lunch as they were passing through on their way to Burlington. That will always be my last memory of Bob. His hearty laugh and expression of love in his face as he listened to Linda talking about their family or his recounting with Mom of their years growing up in Swepsonville. You are and will be missed Bob but never forgotten!
