Folks Of Interest It is in great sadness BOB Klessig

God take care of you and your family bob. You will be missed. I know that old chevy will have a lot more miles on it from above. Just don't get ice cream on the seats! We miss ya already!

 

Rest in Peace Bob ... thank you for all the adventures you shared on the HAMB. Condolences to your Family.

 

Such a sad day. The only insurance guy I ever liked. My condolences to the family and friends.

Oh and BobK, if you are reading this, I am not sorry I stole your parking spot at the Rust Revival a couple years ago.

 

RIP Bob

 

RIP Friend……

 

The one and only time I met Bob in person - BTT50's 2014. I hollered at him as he drove by - he stopped, I introduced myself, we shook hands and talked and he was gone. He didn't know me from a sack of bananas but jawed like we were old friends. What a guy.
Bob K. has left a huge legacy. Peace and comfort to Bob's family and friends.

 

For many many many years, whenever we met, Bob and I shared laughs. We crossed paths many a time, and I'm looking forward to seeing him again down the road. Love and prayers to Maggie and the family. John Stimac

 

It was my distinct pleasure to have known such a great friend as BobK. Celebrate his life as he had a real gift for it, and he will certainly leave a void on this earth. Go with God Bob.

 

Sorry to hear of this. Super good guy and lifetime rider!! Cruise on my friend!!!

such a bummer to hear about this today. he is a legend, never to be forgotten. im so glad i have the memories of our times together, rest easy my friend.

 

"Jeffy my boy!" Whether it had been a week or a year since I'd seen him, that was the greeting I always got from Bob. I'll miss him.

 

This makes me sad. Godspeed, Bob.

That and being called Son because of that many times I called him Dad

 

Like so many, I considered Bob a friend. He was always smiling and joking around. He did it as so many of wish we could, being the wheel of an old car criss-crossing the country seeing it all. His adventures with Maggie were awesome and we were lucky he shared them with us.

 

Rest In Peace Bob.

Only met him once or twice.......super nice guy. I had no idea he was 80 years old, he certainly didn't look it. RIP Bob.

 

This is the thread I hoped I wouldn't have to open, but was afraid I would.
It was always a good time when Bob was there and he lived his life his way.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Bob, God Bless you and your whole family.

 

RIP BobK. You were, and will continue to be an inspiration to many. For me it was your incredibly well documented road trips on the secondary highways of this world that inspired me to make a couple big trips. Saw you on the salt on several occasions, but too many fans and friends to just barge in and say hi. Travel safe now.

 

Well it sucks for everyone down here. Right now he is having lunch with some of the other legends that have passed. They are planning his first “Heavenly” Rod or Custom.

God bless and we will see you again.
