Bob Kipple
Jul 11^th, 2009 at 12:20pm

Today would have been Bob's 70th birthday. Although he is no longer with us physically, he is with us in our hearts and minds. Today should be set aside as Bob Kipple Day.

Bob, you were a great individual and quite an asset to society, and especially us, your fellow clusterheads. I feel honored to have met you and call you friend.

Happy Birthday, you old fart!

With much love and respect,
Chuck

Grateful birthday wishes to Bob.

Truly remembered with Judy from Nashville. Adhering long in conversation all Friday afternoon, finding each other early Saturday morning and companied together waiting for the meeting room to open. Braving an unlocked door, centrally seating ourselves for hours as three until the coming gathering. He was fixing with conversation, complimentary with Judy, engaging enjoyment.

We didn't share a table dining later, being my first convention I had to go through a hazing that was invitingly presented as a dutiful sacrifice and higher calling, sitting next to Barb, the seat known as untouchable. She offered accommodation. Me, unknowingly... I don't remember else. Very, very lucky that much time with Bob and Judy came before.
