Bob was very generous with his time which is a precious commodity. When he made a dressage ring at the side of his house, he told me, now I built it now you come (which I did since I was trying out for the US team in combined driving). Bob supported me in my endeavors as a friend. I'm missing him terribly.

I will forever remember that smile, that little glint in his eye when you were debating him and he knew he had you over the barrel and that laugh when he found something particularly funny...

RIP Bob and thanks for all you did for the driving community. Your support and encouragement to everyone and anyone that drove in the Madison area to come and show at the VLCC show in Prairie du Chien is what helped it become one of the largest horse driving shows in the country !

Bob and I had great discussions about local politics in recent years, a subject about which we shared a healthy skepticism, although not necessarily from the same starting point!
