Bob passed away November 4th.
I know that more then a few people have been on tours and had met Bob and his wife Marietta on tours in Canada and US and with Northwest Vintage Speedsters.
Besides loosing a long time member, he had been our clubs news letter editor for 40 years.
This is from our clubs Facebook page;

Please remember him, Marietta and family in your thoughts.

Our condolences to Marietta and family.
We first met the Rankin's on MTFCA tours in the late 80's and joined them and others from the Rose City Club
on National and International tours as well as NWVS runs over the years.
May Bob rest in peace......... Harry and Rosalie Lillo

Bob was a good guy and a good friend. Marietta is a delightful lady and my heart goes out to her.
