Condolence from Philip Nyren on July 18th, 2015 9:05 am

I lost track of Bob, and he of me, as we grew into our twenties. As teens, he’d trade me his Datsun 510, all kitted out, for the use of my BSA chopper style motorbike for weekends.
Although I haven’t seen Bob for years and years, I think of him often, and the fun we had talking about cars and motorbikes and getting a taste of each other’s automotive passions.
Bob was a great guy, and my memories of him will stay with me always.
I hope that the life time of memories you all must have of him will warm your hearts forever more whenever you think of him.
God bless.

Philip Nyren
boyhood chum

Hard to believe that Bob is gone. Knew him since we were in our teens, he was a close friend to my ex-husband, Dave Eburne. Bob was an usher in our wedding party. There were a lot of good memories. He was full of wit, sometimes dry, a twinkle in his eye. God’s speed, Bob! See you when we get there.
