Thoughts and prayers to the families and freinds... RIP

I find myself wishing I could of spent a few more hours just listening to Bob talk about boats and cars. Our shops are not more than 150 yrds from each other and for the last year I was going to swing my 63 Impala by to show Bob as he has a 61 and 62 Impalas but I was what I thought was to busy now my chance has passed with a really fun and good man.
I can say that the hours of talking and haggling on prices of super cat motors with him are some of my good boating memories.

RIP Bob and JT

R.I.P. horrible tragedy.

Met Bob once and had a great conversation with him about the history of Apache and how racing was back then and he was so easy to talk to. Such a cool guy.

Never had the opportunity of meeting Jeff.

My sincere condolences to the friends and family of both men.

I like the way you think!

I cant upload a pic here but theres a pic of the boat at the crane on THT and the canopy is destroyed. Very sad and I feel the friends and family of the two men.

A very tragic loss and a very sad day in the offshore world !

It's hard to put in to words- My sincere condolences to Jeff and Robert's families, crew and sponsors on a very sad day.

Here with us one moment and then gone in a heartbeat-but- never forgotten!

GODSPEED!!! Jason spent some time with Bob at lotto, real gentleman

RIP....God Bless the families and friends

RIP. You both will be missed by all of us at The Lake of the Ozarks

May your souls rest in peace. My prayers to the friends and families grieving the loss of their loved ones tonight.

I just logged on for the first time today....I don't know what to say....so sad may they rest in piece.

99% of the people I've met through boating have been great honest people and I'm sure these guys fall in that category. I have to say thanks to the moderators for keeping it classy. God speed gentleman...

This is a very sad day
 

R.I.P Bob. This is a very sad day, as I read through these post , I'm thinking back to driving down from Chicago to meet with him on a boat deal that he was contracting us (Thunder power boats) to build him a 37' cat, the marina was busy , Bob was down on the dock grilling burgers for who ever was there , and talking boats, from a small baja to blown flats. we are going to miss you Big Thunder!

Such a tragedy for the families of both men, our thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with this horrible loss.

We try to say how safe modern race boats are today compared to the past, and that is undoubtedly true. Yet there are freak, rare occurrences like this that put what we view as safe in real perspective. Godspeed gentlemen, your memory will live on.

RIP gentlemen...God bless the families and friends...

A comforting thought about something so sad. :(

Wow. I don't know waht to say other than God bless them and grant their families peace. I absolutely LOVE offshore racing but this part of it has gotten all to familiar these past many years.

RIP guys.
