I knew Bob for quite a few years before I left the St Mary's area. We bonded over cars and food, not sure which he loved more. F1 racing was up there as well, in fact, he had a favorite store in Toronto that sold racing and F1 merchandise, and I always ended up buying something that seemed to please him as much as me ! He asked me one time if I could help him deliver vehicles, as a friend I refused any payment, but he always insisted on buying lunch and or dinner ( hence his love for food and a little drink sometimes lol ). We even went out East coast a couple of times dropping cars off, and once ended up getting lost and crossing the border at 2am without realizing it, when we turned around to cross back that's when we got stopped by US border patrol, lol good memories I'll never forget. Like taking the ferry over to Newfoundland ( with no stopping from driving from Stratford to Newfoundland ) and both of us extremely tired , then only to find out the Ocean was really rough that the cabin we had sounded like a gong was being hit every 5 mins from the waves hitting the bow, so neither of us got any sleep. Way too many stories that I could tell......We use to go to car shows, Jody and I or sometimes just I would pop over to the big house, usually Friday or Sat night, then. get ready to leave, when he'd pop up and say lets order a pizza ! lol I lost touch with Bob and I regret that deeply, he was fun to be around, out going, do anything for anyone but mostly he was a good friend who will be missed by many. My heart goes out to Carole, kids, family and friends
