I have known Bob for thirty plus years. Always friendly and always had a kind word.
Like alot of people who grew up in racing(Like myself), Bob and people like Bob are in your life for along period of time. They were the creators,history teachers and caretakers of the sport before the next generations could come in and assume their position. The problem is, we have less and less people like Bob who basically devoted their entire lives to keeping this thing going. I hope I am wrong, but with each passing member of his generation, the sport becomes a little less relevant.
I will miss Bob; watching races with him,sharing a laugh or even a little pissing and moaning about some things. One thing about it, knowing Bob put you into an elite club of people.
For those who don't know; Bob and Kenny Baldwin of Baldwin Bros. racing were extremely close. Our thoughts are with them as well.
