Hearing about this very much saddens me as Bob was my closest friend when we served in RVN. We went through Pathfinder School together & vied for Honor Student, which Bob ended up winning! Our bunks were next to each other in the Corporal's Tent in Ahn Khe & he even had a picture of my sister above his bunk, as they were writing at one time. We did not spend much time in the field together as he was GS team & I was in the 227th. We would run into each other on the semi- permanent forward LZs when passing through to the combat LZs. I remember one night at the Rubber Plantation when Bob, me, Dennis Thomas & I think Bostick were huddled in a couple of fox holes way out on the far perimeter by ourselves while the LZ was under attack, mortars exploding all around & VC running through us.
Bob was a quiet guy & took his job & life seriously.
I was really looking forward to seeing him at our 50th reunion at Ft. Benning this Fall.. RIP buddy!
