    Bob got his Stromberg training at the knee of his Father, Harry. They were both great guys.

    Bumpin' it for Bob!
    It was a year ago today when we spoke on the phone.
    No one knew what the next 24 hours would bring...
    Very sad. Miss you, buddy.

    I met Bob about 30 years ago when I was in O.C. for a while. We hung out some with a group of mutual friends and did lunch a time or two. He was a great guy and a true gentleman. I know he will be missed by many!

    2 years now - doesn't seem real still. Bob was not only a Friend but was instrumental in tracing the history of my Anglia.
    R.I.P. my friend

    Sometimes we don't realize our Fathers legacy until they are gone....

    R.I.P. and Sorry for your loss.....

    I thought this was a few years old? .

    Grant and family , I'm sorry to hear about losing Bob . I met your dad years ago at your house when I sold bob some stromberg carb cores, you where about 7 or 8 years old then.
    I would see him from time to time at long beach or at the post office. Last time I saw him it was at Bob sages shop when he work there for a bit.

    Please keep us posted on any information of services .

    I just changed my T-shirt. I put on the Stromberg shirt that Bob gave me a long time ago. It's cold up here in Utah today so it's under my long john shirt and my sweatshirt so you can't see it but I know it's there. Wayno

    Five years doesn't seem possible. Gave his wife a copy of the Rodders Journal with my Anglia in it since Bob was mentioned and part of tracing the history. It brought a tear, BUT She was really appreciative.
