WONKY

Robert Hess was a wonderful friend. He was one of the funniest men I have known. His passion for life was huge. Here’s an example:

I once took Rob on the back of mu motorcycle across the Golden Gate Bridge where we went hiking around the old coastal batteries. On the way back the traffic was terrible. I told him to hold on. I then squeezed the bike between lanes and hit the gas as we flew across the bridge. I could hear over the wind noise, Robert screaming ‘FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!’ all the way across the bridge. Once we got to the toll plaza I asked if he was ok. Grinning ear to ear he replied, ‘Do it again!’

Like many others, I too miss robert. He died several years ago -- seems like an eternity. But this little archive of some of Robert’s email humour, might bring back a little memory of him to those who knew him. And if you didn’t, here’s a chance to get a sense of him. Enjoy
