Bob Morris had been a big help at the Oberlin Meet last summer.
He and a friend had ridden the Canton Football Parade few years back.
So sad he is gone.

Bob was a huge help on Century Day in Oberlin. He manned the kitchen for most of the day, making sandwiches, serving, cleaning, all with a smile. We rode our high wheel bicycles together for the Official High Wheel Tour.
