I knew Bob for over three decades after joining the reenactment community at age 14 in 1986. Bob had a boisterous, outgoing personality, an infectious laughter and the ability to bring humor to any situation, no matter how bleak! Whether in the middle of a rainy weekend or a living history trip gone wrong, Bob's jokes and humor kept everyone afloat. When I went overseas for the first time with him on the American Civil War Society of England's tour in 1991, every moment with Bob was packed with humor, irony and always - lots of laughs. It's been said that the best gift someone can give is the gift of laugher. Well, Bob kept it up for all his friends all the time. Rest in Peace Bob, you are loved and missed !
