The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

So very sorry to hear of Bobs passing.
At Union their booth was across the aisle from us which allowed time for some conversation when things were slow.
The few Florida shows I did he was always very helpful with a smile on his face. You could tell he enjoyed the show even though he was doing a lot of work. He was also passionate about Corvettes as the conversations would go back and forth from phonographs to Corvettes.
Even though I only new Bob from the phonograph events I knew he was a standup guy and will be greatly missed.

Thanks for the update Raphael,
Larry

Bob was a great phonograph enthusiast and friend. He welcomed several of us from Oregon in January to the Orlando Phonograph Show. I went several times and was treated with great warmth by Bob, Richard Brown and all the other wonderful folks in Florida. Blessings to Bob Cole and his family.

We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Lerria and I remember great times with
him and Richard Brown when we were at Union. We saw him many years there
and never saw him without a smile on his face and always a happy person.
He was a great phonograph collector and we will miss him.

All the best to his family,

David & Lerria Rosamond
