Bob was one of the best in all aspects. As junior birdman at WAL we flew a few trips together in the early 60's. When the seniority list was very mixed up as we were still flying F/O in the DC6B & checking out in different seats on the L188. Bob & I had a layover near the SFO airport
ReplyDeletewhich was Bobs old stopping grounds as he grew up nearby. He took me to one of his favorite watering holes called " Artichoke Joes ".
Everybody knew him there & we ended up closing the place down.
It ended up being a short night as far as sleeping goes. Not unusual
in those days. Many years later when DAL bought us out, Bob & I were paired up together in transitioning into the L1011 as Capt.'s. in Atlanta. Normally ground school/simulator/flight training is a lot of hard work & not a fun time. Going through the checkout process with Bob was a blast. What a fun guy to be around always.
Bob will be very much missed by all who knew him.
