Sad to hear about Bob's passing. Worked with him on dozens - if not hundreds - of occasions and have nothing but positive things to say about his professionalism and due diligence towards flying as well as his pleasant personality.

Don't deal with Hammonds. They will screw you at any and every opportunity. Just ask anyone who has worked at their FBO.
