Bob indeed, was one of a kind ! He was one of my dearest friends whom I will truly miss. He helped a many trap and trap related manufacturer develop their products and skills in many aspects of manufacturing. I could write a book about all our conversations, from rabbit hunting to winding trap springs. He gave from the heart when someone was in need ,never needing a thank you. There are many trapping related products on the market he had a hand in designing and improving. A designer, engineer , machinist , trap manufacturer , seasoned trapper and one of the nicest men you could ever know, all in one. His legacy is being carried on by his son Jack and grandson Allen at the RC Best Traps Mfg. I would say rest in peace old buddy, but you are a tinkerer, and probably designing some kind of spring to power the Pearly Gates. Thanks for all the memories!

i got the same call from jack, what a sad day, i have many great memories of our time spent together, charles dobbins introduced bob to me over 40 years ago bob was an amazing man with so many skill and talents, it would take hours to type out, a great teacher with loads of common sense! bob lived his life right with integrity to god, family, and country , another trapping legend has left us ,a great friend never to be forgotten.

I have known Bob for most my adult trapping life. We always visited and I looked forward to his new contributions to the industry. I tested some of his creations over my lifetime as they came available. In fact I still use many of his traps and hardware to this day.

I will miss you my old friend. God speed to you. Thank you for all your sharing with me over the years.
