Folks Of Interest Bob McCoy passed away

first saw his 40' pix when I picked up the magazine article in '57. talked to him a few times at good guys in SD where he signed his book for me. He's my age and its not fun to see all the old guys p***ing. see ya later Bob.

 

Great artist's cars are always the coolest! What I would give to have his talent and ambition,man!

This is a friend I will really miss. I grew up in the same neighborhood as Bob and his family. He and my older brother were the same age and ran around together for a few years before we moved to the suburb of La Mesa from our old digs on 41st street in San Diego. I always looked him up at LARS to say hi and ask how everything was going for him. He always had a positive at***ude and outlook on life and was a super talented artist/sign painter/pinstriper. He will be greatly missed by myself and my brother and sister. RIP Bobby!
