Bob was taken from us as a result of his ongoing illness with diabetes and from his stubborn headedness. If there was a buck to be made to supplement his income he was all innever started with a few of anything like horses, ice cream trucks or raising toy Chihuahuas. He never knew how to start out small and expand as his projects grew. Adventure was what he was all about.
