Saw chatter that Bob Harrington of Z Resto has passed away.

Read it on the book-of-the face platform, so clearly a sketchy source.  An email to Z Resto has gone unanswered.

Tried going to fakebuuk without an account to research.  That's an exercise in futility.

Can't find the Z Resto account on fleaBay.

Can anyone reliably confirm or dispute Bob's passing?  The last time we talked to him at Mid-OH, maybe 4 yrs. ago(?) he was walking the swap, searching for gauges.

Good Ridin'

I think this confirms it Jim.

Well that's sad to hear. I have had a few gages done by him as others have.
