Sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. I have known Bob since 1958, when we rode our Cushman scooters. We graduated together 1962 from Ypsilanti High School. Bob has always been a good person. His family has my deepest sympathy.

Kay and family. Rick and I are heartbroken that Bob has passed. You and Bob were always very special to us. Even though we didn't see each other often it was always such a pleasure when we did. We are so glad you were able to attend TASR's show in May. My memories of you and Bob of course are always to do with cars and car shows. Bob was just the coolest dude! I can just see him in Levis, white socks black shoes and a white t-shirt, of course in a cool car! Kay, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you.
Rest in peace Bob. I bet Steet is just as Neat in heaven. You will be sorely missed.
