Sorry to hear. I got to know Bob a bit when his daughter, Kelli purchased an Emmons from me a few years ago. We chatted a bit, he was a great guy to talk steel with. Rest Easy Bob.

Bad News Indeed

Bob, was a great guy to know and a fine musician. He lost much of the use of his legs and couldn't play the pedals late in life and this bothered him a lot. He was a man of faith and he told me he had planned on becoming a priest early in life.
Rest in peace.

Bob and Elaine are dear friends 0f mine. The friendship came from three directions: Their church, the TSGA Jamboree and visiting in their home. Their pastor was a classmate of mine in college.
Bob will be missed by me and many others. RIP!
