[Heat Seeker WS6]

Sorry to hear that Wayne.
I got to meet Bob at his shop while his kid did my wheels and his body guy 'Thor' repaired my qtr panel.... In just the short time talking w/ him in various conversations I could tell he was a good and honest guy & a straight shooter. A man of talent & knowlege.

Yes Wayne Big Bob will be missed. Grew up with his kids for the last 10 years. They both stood up in my wedding. I was over at the Zoesch house today and they are doing well. The phone keeps ringing off the hook with support.

[michelle]

Sorry to hear this Wayne, but it's good to know he isn't suffering anymore. I wish the best for you, Sean, and his other family and friends.

[BAD LS1]

RIP Big Bob. Ive known this great fella too growing up through my teenage years as one of his sons is a freind of mine.

[johnny--2k]

Sorry to hear about your loss Wayne. Sounds like he was very close, and a good man. Both your family and his will be in my prayers. :(

[Waver]

wayne....I am sorry to hear this. When I met him he seemed real honest and seemed to be an all around good guy. His work speaks for its self (having seen it in person) and he will be truly missed.......my prayors are with you and his family............

[Prince Valiant]

How sad...when you've talked of him in the past, you certainly held him in high regard so it's clear how dear you held him. Hopefully the memories of all the good times, and knowing that he's no longer in pain will help comfort you during the times you miss him most...

[Holeshot]

Sorry for your loss Wayne..
