Bob was a dear friend w/whom I shared mutual interest in vintage stereo gear and the US Army.
He was extremely proud of his Army service w/the 11th Armored Cav Regiment in Vietnam.
He and I crossed paths in Jan 2011 when he answered an ad for some speakers I had placed on Craig's List.
We started e-mailing back and forth and became fairly close.
I have a lot of walls in my life, but let everyone of them down for Bob, I trusted and respected him that much.
I'll miss his companionship and, of course, his "opinions" on just about everything. We lost a good one way too soon.

I am Bob's oldest friend in Oklahoma and came here with him long ago. I am glad he was able in his life to have a family and do well. He had a heart of gold beneath that tough guy NY phesod. I just found his obituary today on August 12th and it made me cry....I tried to see him in the hospital knowing he was very sick and was going to leave us.
Soon after I met him I knew he was very troubled about what he experienced in Viet Nam as were many.
I am glad his family could be with him when he passed. I will hold many fond memories of working at the zoo and going to school with him at UCO in my heart forever. Jane McHose
