I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Robert back in the late 80s at the beginning of my Amateur Radio career when he was living in Savannah area. I got to know Blind Bob as he was known in the Amateur Radio community. The quick wit that Bob had an awesome sense of humor made him a hit on Amateur Radio. Everybody loved Bob and always look forward to talking to him again. He and I had a very special relationship over the years. We were there for each other during the good times and through the not so good moments of each other’s lives . Bob always tried to help someone with an encouraging comment, usually followed by a hilarious joke. No matter how bad the situation at the time was he was always there for me? He cherished the times he had with his children and grandchildren, and made a point to tell me everything usually that went on to the point that I feel as though I watched y’all grow up from a far. He talked about his wife, Barb often and how she was Jam up as he put it. I had the opportunity to see Bob and Barbara back in the summer of 2021 and I myself saw a wonderful wife watching over a man who loves her dearly. I’m sure in the days ahead there will not be a time that I don’t think about Bob, and remember his laughter and sense of humor and also the love that he had for me as his friend. Even though he’s gone from this world, I know that one day he will see me for the first time and reach out his hand to shake mine, as he always did which was followed by a hug. We cherished each other’s friendship and look forward to seeing each other again even though we talked pretty much every day. Amateur Radio will not quite be the same without my friend, but knowing that they are others like me missing a awesome person is somewhat comforting.I’ll Never forget my friend and look forward to the day I see you again.
