TRIBUTE by Fan-Friend, Bill B. Miller Bob loved to tell the story of driving a car with his college friends. I get this giant smile when I think of Bob, like many gifted people, he brought such incredible pleasure to those who heard him play. He was generous with his music and had an incredible wit. My prayers to his family and friends.
