Bob was a joy to paddle with. He loved to get on the water be it in a solo canoe or Sailboat. He could do sit and switch and would dabble in freestyle. He always would be making a canoe to fit the activity. He gifted me his canoe loading ladder and the orginal forms and stongback for the Blackhawk Nighthawk/ fishhawk. He is missed.....
