Bobs found his way home now, rest in peace.
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Per Ada's wish, there are many fond memories that come to mind of  a good and generous man.  We have
been fortunate and privileged to know him.

Bob was one of the best. Always enthusiastic about our love of tools, and shared that passion freely with all of us. He will be missed.

Rest In Peace, amertrac.

Sorry to hear about Bobs passing. Only dealt with him a few times, but he was a nice guy.

Rest in peace, Bob.  My thoughts with his family.  We should do something here in a thread to commemorate his membership here.  Maybe this is it.

He loved tools!
