I was sorry to hear recently that Bob died in his early 50s. I went out with him in about 1966-67 when my sister Ann and I double-dated with him and his friend Don Anderson. I remember him as steady, straightforward guy, always dependable, fun to be with, a good kisser too as he played trumpet? or one of those brasses that needed strong lips. Oh, and very good looking. I still have the ring he gave me for Christmas, a, wait for it...black diamond.
