“I just heard about Bob's passing, months late. My condolences & best wishes to Shirley and family. From my first days in Alaska, in 1986, Bob was a mentor and inspiration for me. He had been through it all, as a successful title manager both in WA and in AK. The state title association bestowed on Bob a lifetime achievement award. But for me, he was a fishing companion and a friend in the backwoods at Drill & Fish Lakes, year round. Bob is unforgettable in all the very best ways.”
