I am surprised and sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I really enjoyed working with him as part of our IT support team at RR Donnelley. I think of him whenever I see a car show, and especially since we’ve moved to Mechanicsburg, as I pass the Carlisle fairgrounds. I am sure he will be missed.

My heart goes out to the Eshleman’s. My husband and I both worked with Bob for many years and enjoyed seeing him out and about at the car shows. We shared his joy when his Cobra was done and will miss seeing him at the local establishments in the Southern End where we would occassionally cross paths with Bob and Lois.
