I am saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Connor and family, please accept my sincerest condolences and prayers for your loss.
I met Bob in my junior year of high school when my family moved to North Creek, from Columbus, Georgia. We became friends and later dated in our senior year of high school. My whole family loved Bob and even after I moved away, Bob would visit my mom. She loved to cook for him.
I have very fond memories of Bob and our time together; a trip to Cape May, New Jersey was especially nice. I remember Bob’s bike, though I don’t recall it being a Harley. My recollection was an orange Kawasaki. I rode with him, but not often. We had a mishap on the back roads of Johnsburg. He hit the front brakes and I went flying. Thank goodness for helmets. I was not hurt and lived to tell the tale.
Many years later I reconnected with Bob on Social Media (Facebook Messenger). It was sometime after the passing away of his wife. Later when I left Facebook (and lost the use of Messenger), we would text, mostly around birthdays and holidays. We talked about work, retirement, politics, family, and health issues. He always asked about my art and I would share pictures of my "attempt" at watercolor paintings.
I am very sorry I was not able to say good bye to you. I will miss you Bob, our little chats. You were always kind and giving and a very good friend to me.
