Bob Roland has passed away.
#1Fellow members, I bring the sad news that Bob Roland, aka "Reels4me" here on the CFRF, passed away in his sleep late last month. I only just learned this from a mutual friend. He had experienced a period of poor health. Bob was a long time tackle collector and an avid picker who would pop up at every auction, estate sale and firehouse tackle show in the mid-Atlantic area. He had a keen eye and a nose for finding stuff. Bob was a gentle soul who will be missed by all who knew him.

#2How old was Bob?
I believe it was Bob who sold me a 7 1/2' Wheeler fly rod through ebay, maybe 15 years back. I kept him on my watch list from then on. It was clear that he got around a bit. Good pickers are missed when they leave us.

#3Jeff, he was around 60, a few years younger than me. Too young. He had trouble affording adequate health care.
