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.

Bob was quite a colorful character; alot of fun to be around!

My son and I spent a long weekend offshore fishing with Bob in RP. We had a great time plus many laughs on the way to and from RP from Flag.

Forever tight lines, "Bob". We'll miss you!

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.
