I first met Bob while I was President of the Raytown Amateur Radio Club where Bob became a member. His call sign was N0TZQ. He was know to everyone in the club as “Uncle Bob!” I will always remember Uncle Bob with his constant smile, his quick wit, and willingness to help and contribute to the club’s projects.
My condolences to Uncle Bob’s family, particularly Dave Bahan – KO0TER. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Randy – W0ICQ
“Uncle Bob” will be missed greatly. I enjoyed sitting and chatting with him at the Raytown amateur Radio Club get togethers.
Uncle Bob will be missed. He was always enjoyable to talk too. All my prayers to his family
