His manufacturing facility was in Attleboro and I'm positive he lived in Cumberland or Lincoln.

Last time I saw Bob was at the URI Marine Campus. Lamiglass was putting on a distance casting show. Year was probably 89 or 90. Well everyone who could distance cast was there.

I don't remember everyone but Ron Arra and Big Dave for sure. Ron is throwing a mile and I mean a mile and everyone is in awe. This Jaguar coupe pull in right onto the beach (gravel) area and it's Bob and his wife. Bob opens the trunk and has boxes of Atom seconds he GIVES away to everyone who was there. Poor Ron was left standing pretty much by himself until all the plugs were gone.
