Good morning CRCC family:

I am sorry to announce that our dear friend and long time member Bob Rich passed away Sunday evening after spending three (3) days in the hospital for a possible bypass surgery or at least a stent, but doctors weren't able to get the stent in.  They were going to airflight Bob out, but he passed before that could happen.  Bob had a long history of heart operations and procedures through the years and being the fighter that he was, lived much longer than anyone had expected, and its been a blessing for all of us.

Bob and Barbara have been with the club almost 20 years joining us back on July 15, 2006.  They had two corvettes, a C3 1979 Light Beige, and a C6 2007 Atomic Orange convertible.  They were very active for many of those years going on several runs, and it was always fun to have them along.  They were and have been an integral part of this club as it has grown over the years into the amazing club and family that it is today.  

Bob was special. Members remember him as a very nice, sweet, quiet, humble man with a great smile, and hands as big as a bear when you shook it.  Bob and wife Barbara enjoyed the outdoors and camped quite a bit in their trailer in many of Arizona's campgrounds.  Pat and I visited them once in Williams at the Kaibab Lake Campground, and they had a great set-up.  I "almost" got Pat to buy into RV life and the outdoors after our visit, but being from New York, it wasn't going to happen, but she did entertain the idea for a short while anyway.  

Our hearts and prayers go out to Barbara and their family at this difficult time.  

Services are pending and details will be forthcoming.

Our good friend Bob will be missed.
