Our friend and fellow member of this forum Robert Barnes a.k.a. "bahiatrader" has passed away... as his wife Tammy said on his Facebook page "Bob is on a trip to a happier place"
Michelle and I had a chance to spend a weekend with Bob and Tammy when we were in Laughlin What a great man who loved the outdoors and truly loved the sea of Cortez. I think on my next trip I will come down and throw some of those Fishing poles and lures Bob made and sea if we cant catch one for BOB....GOD SPEED MY FRIEND
Very sorry to hear this news. Bob would be the 1st one to tell you how he met and cheated Death himself several years ago and that every day he was alive was a blessing. He and I used to communicate frequently. He was possessed with designing a new type of fishing lure and we spoke about that often. He lived life to the fullest, a great outdoorsman and sportsman. I mourn his passing and will miss him. I'm sure he's already out fishing the bountiful waters of heaven with a vigor he hasn't had in years. Fair winds and following seas, Bob.
I was so sad when Bob first anounced that he was in serious trouble and then he rebounded and expressed real hope with his new diet. Its sad to loose people you only new from afar and never had a chance to really get to know. Life is short.
