| Bob passed away Thursday from complications of cancer. He was a lifetime member of the Weatern Swing Hall of Fame and a wonderful friend. At one time he had owned at least half of the guitars in my shop and would drop by on a weekly basis to just hang out. He will be deeply missed. |

I bought a guitar from him once that I should have kept. Have a DVD he sent of a band he was playing in.

Bob once transported a guitar for me from Sacramento to Jim's shop in Oceanside....a great guy, whom I wish I had known better. May he rest in peace...

| Bob was a wonderful person, I bought a GFI from Bob and the pickup was damaged in shipment, I told him it was not his fault but he sent another pickup,I talked with him several times later about guitars, I will surely miss him. |
