My condolences to the whole’Williams’ family. It has been a long time since I saw
Bob, but I really loved when he brought around the Franklin or any of his car collection. He was so enthusiastic about all his cars that it was infectious.I loved the way he spoke about them. He was such a kind soul, i’m sorry the way that he was treated. God bless him as he tries to negotiate getting a studebaker to drive in heaven. Love and rememberances , Fred Kohlmeier
I am deeply saddened by the news of Bob’s passing. I have known Bob on and off for nearly 40 years. He was such a kind and gentle person who was very proud of his vintage car collection. When I think of Bob it will always be of him driving his blue Studebaker Lark with a smile on his face. My sincere condolences to Bob’s family on his loss.
My deepest sympathies to Bob’s family. I’m very surprised and sorry to hear of his passing. Though I haven’t seen him lately, I’ve known Bob since our high school days when we graduated from Aquinas in 1960. In the years that followed our paths would often cross due to his love of cars, especially Studebakers. He was always so enthusiastic about his car collection and taught me much. I also remember his Hudson and the 1930 Franklin which I got to drive once. A memorable experience!
Bob was always friendly, sociable, and helpful. May God bless him and keep him in peace always.
Bob the Lord is waiting for your Studebaker expertise up there in the heavens. I have known Robert and his family since the 60’s and he was always teaching me something new about car’s. All of our times together were "memorable" to say the least. Rest easy my friend. I am sure there are politics and cars in your future with you and the Lord above. Good keep.
My condolences to Bob’s family, I knew him through his interest in Studebaker and other antique cars, which we shared. When I chanced to see him at a show, I would greet him "Well, if it isn’t the Famous Studebaker Bob!" His reply would be "Am I famous?" That was our standard set piece, always an interesting conversation with him, he was broadly knowledgeable. He gave me a ride in his 1930 Franklin to a show years ago. He was a good conservator and steward of American automotive history and well be always remembered well for his efforts.
RIP FSB
