At the time of his passing, Bob lived in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. RePlay will share more details as soon as we get them.
Our publisher, Eddie Adlum, said: “Back in the day, Bob was one of the most powerful distributor execs because he not only headed up Betson’s huge sales force, but he was also the chief equipment buyer at that multi-branch company. May he Rest in Peace.”
