Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed being friends with that guy for so long. I talked with him just three weeks ago, and it didn't sound like he was doing very well. He said he was almost blind. But as usual, he was in pretty good spirits.
He was such a character. He's call me up and announce, "Bob Nelson, up here in Everett." And I'd think, I KNOW you're in Everett, Bob. I've even been to your house. He was so enthusiastic about so many things, and he drew me into some of his projects. It was such a pleasure to know Bob.
My condolences to Judy, Stewart, Kenny Barroga, Maggie, and all who loved him.
Rest in peace, Bob. I'll miss you.
