I met Bob in 6th grade at Stuckey. We made devils night every night from that point on. We had a ball. We experienced a lot of firsts. Like using the always illusive, "Dine and  Dash" card at area eateries. Mama Mias Pizzaria, for one.  We would stop by Larry Parks house, a few doors down from Bob's, and go down to his psychedelic "black light" room in his parents basement and enjoyed our first joint.  It was far-out man. What a shame about both of them. 2 great guys, gone way too soon.   Mark B  

On a personal note, I knew Bob beginning at Pearson Jr. High. He was a pretty good guy most of the time and even though we had our disagreements at times I liked him a lot because you always knew where you stood with him. If you were one of his friends you could usually count on him to be there for you in a heartbeat.
