R.I.P Bob ...
He taught me how to wrap rods and alot of the little tricks and things..He was one hell of a nice guy..
I miss the days when i could go to the shop and just sit and shoot the bull about fishing..

Bob was as decent guy as you can find and will be missed. For those who remember his rod shop I still marvel how he found things in it. Organized chaos minus organized about describes it. Did more than one deep dive with him searching for a reel being serviced. George once told him he looked like a dog burying a bone when he was on the hunt for a reel!
