Bob passed away Thursday from complications of cancer. He was a lifetime member of the Weatern Swing Hall of Fame and a wonderful friend. At one time he had owned at least half of the guitars in my shop and would drop by on a weekly basis to just hang out. He will be deeply missed.

I bought a guitar from him once that I should have kept. Have a DVD he sent of a band he was playing in.
Sorry to here he is gone.

Bob once transported a guitar for me from Sacramento to Jim's shop in Oceanside....a great guy, whom I wish I had known better. May he rest in peace...

Bob was a wonderful person, I bought a GFI from Bob and the pickup was damaged in shipment, I told him it was not his fault but he sent another pickup,I talked with him several times later about guitars, I will surely miss him.

Jim, I just saw this. I am saddened to hear the news. Bob was a friend and he helped me out on a lot of stuff. I will miss seeing him.
