I knew Bob very well going back to the 2nd grade at Hester Elementary School in San Jose.  I'm looking at the Hester 2nd grade class picture in which Bob is standing just one person from me. We met again in the 9th grade -- had lunch together a couple times circa 2014. Both friends of Sparky Anderson. Bob was a great athlete at Lincoln High -- modest and very popular.  Ed Jones

Don't know how often someone looks at this tribute file, but I have the 2nd grade picture from Hester Elementary School in San Jose, showing Bob and me in Miss Swain's class in 1937.  I'll be in San Jose in early February if the family would like to have photo.  My email is ejassoc@verizon.net. Contact me and I'll give you the picture when I get to SJ in a couple weeks.  Ed Jones

I didn’t know Bob had passed in 2017. Bob was a mentor to me at Julliard Alpha Liquor Co.from 1986-1992. Bob was my Field Sales Manager and we worked together chasing new leads in my Territory. Our Team won quite a few trips including Rancho La Costa in Carlsbad. Bob always told me how lucky I was to marry a lovely lady from Philadelphia. Bob was a good man and friend.
