Re: RIP Bob Taylor.
Sad news indeed. He was most helpful when we undertook ownership of an Olympic and a really nice guy when I met him.
Our thoughts with his family.

A note refers to an article but I couldn't find reference to the van, there was a large article about the Masonite factory, possibly the mater...
