Here is a U tube movie I saved for myself. See him in action.
We will miss him more and more as time goes on.
He was your long time friend once you talked about Vanagons.
I always got the best advice immediately from him. An absolute king of his
time in this game.
Thanks Bob for all the great engines and unselfish advice.
We loved you. You had a noble calling with us and you fulfilled your
calling splendidly.
Many thanks. And I hope, your next life will be less painful and even more
fun.
Zoltan
