mackdaddy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Passing on the word that we lost a great Mack man today. Bob passed away today at home. He introduced me to the old truck hobby and started my passion for the LTL and W model Macks. He was a personal friend to me and a friend to many others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I met Bob in '85 while I was stationed @ Ft. Lewis,Wa. He let me wander around his yard and take pictures of all the treasures there.He and his wife were very nice people.He showed me a copy of the Wheels of Time. I joined The ATHS at that time and have been a member ever since.I met up with him again at Milwaukee in '93. Truly an icon in the antique truck and MACK world.R.I.P.
