Jr im so sorry to hear the passing of a good friend Bob Finchum he was a really gentle and nice man.We struck a friendly relationship when we met at the Us Open .I did keep in touch with him and the last i heard was some time ago he was sick in bed . He did tell he he had a health issue all that time ago and i often wondered how he was,a true gentleman indeed. Its with a heavy heart i take the news of his demise Bob Finchum RIP.

Im surprised no one else has contributed to this post,maybe no one knew him recently? i dont know.I know he had been out of the game for a while but still had a great interest and would turn up at Tys.Either way Bob was a nice guy and if you have an address or and addy id appreciate if you would pass it on,so i can write to pass on my condolences to his family.
