Had him for an instructor in my 318ti hatchback at Le Circuit many years ago (when Rennsport allowed BMWs); I remember him telling me to brake for T1 and me politely telling him "no" We finished the run and he told me how much he enjoyed the ride, which meant a lot. Great instructor and wonderful, upbeat human being.

RIP Bob.

Gary

Bob had some challenges over the last few years, but was still doing all he could. He was a pretty amazing guy, incredibly humble, and left his mark through the DE community, PCA, and RL more than most people will ever realize. I'm really lucky to have known Bob through not only PCA, but personally and saw his generosity, business acumen, and fun side both on and off the track. The world and our Universe is a better place for his life. RIP Bob.

While I did know him personally, he was always a level headed contributor to rennlist.

RIP bob. You will be missed in ways you probably never knew.

One of the best HPDE guys ever - it was a privilege to share the track and the paddock with him.
Thanks for keeping us smiling and safe, Bob
