After hearing stories from his mom, Susi, Bob's Grandson, Brendan, drew this picture of him with his records & Susi. He wouldn't make her go back to bed, but instead allowed her, at about 4 years old, to stay up & watch him with his prized records. This is one of Susi's fondest memories.
"Bobisms"
I can spot the sun like nobody.
Hey Bob, why do you have 2 wallets?
There's a reason for everything.
I'm gonna need a large bowl of lemons.
(Every time we went out to eat.)
I like a hole that I can reuse.
(While discussing wall anchors with his son; watch the video here)
She has this habit of pulling the plugs out of the wall by the cord. (He said this about a friend & was dead serious, annoyed, astonished & disapproving!)
