He and I were good friends.
He raced a Pontiac sedan in Stock, then he built that Barracuda, another Stocker, and a '57 Chevy sedan delivery, and then a '65 Chevelle wagon, first for Stock, then Super Stock. Bill Massey, who's a friend of mine, and Bob were partners on the Barracuda.
Rob is his son. Bob died a premature death, but I don't remember the cause. He was a good guy.
