My wife and I went to visit Bob in the hospital last evening and from the way he was then we knew it wouldn't be much longer. To say that we have lost a good friend would be the understatement of the century. Bob, was one of the founding members of Scale Auto Builders Ass'n (SABA) here in Portland. He was also the driving force behind what now is known as the Portland Classic Model Car Contest which is held in conjugation with the Portland Roadster Show. Bob, hounded the producer of the Roadster Show from 1970 until they gave in and the Portland Classic started in 1972, this coming March will be the 37th year of the show.
We had already decided to reinstate the Best of the Best contest at the next Portland Classic Contest. The Contest will now be a tribute to Bob.
Please, keep Jan and the family in your prayers, that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would provide the peace and comfort.
