    BOB will be sorely missed!!! My late husband, Bill Lear, Jr and my self have spent some wonderful times with Bob…especially during the Reno Air Races.

    Always gentle, always kindly and most of all, one heck of a flying legend! Hope to see you and my Bill again, on a different runway…bet you are already swopping stories!
