Folks Of Interest RIP Bob Goldsmith ~ flatheadjunk ~

We've lost a good one... Struggling for words right now.
Prayers for him and his family.

 

I was going to post this when I heard yesterday. Along with being a friend, he's the guy who hooked me up with the original builder of my Anglia at Blair's.
Bob was going through a rough patch financially for a while now. We talked a week or so ago and I didn't realize how bad it really was. It finally got the better of him, and that's a real shame.
Really feel sorry for his wife and kids, prayers be with them.
Gonna miss you Bob!

 

Damn, sorry to here it.

 

Having trouble dealing with this...Bob was a real stand up guy and one of the good guys!

Really sorry to hear about this!

Prayers to his family.

 

Sorry to hear
He will be missed

 

Was Bob the guy who was helping a widow a couple of years ago get rid of some high dollar parts ? I talked to him at the Walt James Classic in Rosamond.
If it is may his family find peace in the fact he is no longer suffering.
May he R.I.P

My Fathers friends just showed me this page, I'm lost for words. My name is Grant Goldsmith, I am Bob Goldsmiths son. I'm so touched by this thread. My Dad was a great man, he will be deeply missed. God bless you all. Thank you, thank you.

 

Prayers for your family. RIP Bob in the Hot Rod Heavens

 

Holy shit!! You have got to be kidding me, Bob was a great guy! He stopped by my shop about a month ago and we were talking shop, cars etc. He was a cool guy, that was always nice! My deepest condolences to his family.

I found out yesterday.....sad news.....RIP Bob.......

 

RIP BOB You Are Missed!!!

 

I knew Bob for 40 years or so. I don't feel good. Wayno

 

What a shock, talked to Bob on lots of occasions about differnet parts he had and he was always friendly and took the time to answer my dumb questions. He'll be missed!

 

Godspeed, Bob.
Grant, family and friends, so sorry for your loss.

Grant, Thank you for coming on here at this difficult time. I first met your dad back in the late 60's, then reconnected about 6 years ago. He was the type of guy that would do anything for you. He was absolutely instrumental in my connecting with the original owner of my Blair's Speed Shop Anglia and seemed as proud as I was when we finished the restoration last year. He used to come by my shop a lot just for a bit of BS and we always enjoyed a Coors Light or two at the LARS Swap Meet.
I am so sorry that things had gotten to this point for him. Have peace in knowing that he was respected and loved by many.
Best prayers for you and the rest of your family. Don

 

Rest in Peace...

 

Back To The Top in honor of my friend Bob.

RIP Bob, didn't know you, but your one of the gang!

 

Grant, Thanks for doing this. It should help give closure to not only your family, but his friends as well. See you then!

 

Lifting your family & all who loved him up in prayer. May he rest in peace.

 

Your father was a nice man, he was always fair when I was dealing with him. I wish your family well at this sad time. He knew Strombergs better than anyone I know.

 

Looking at this , I'm reminded of the fact that the years we spent on Henry's Hot water heater will go to the great gasoline station in the sky. By that, I'm refering to a wealth of learned experence has been lost , You sir will be missed . scrubba

Prayers of peace and comfort to those that knew & loved him. Godspeed Bob
