With sadness I learnt today of the passing of Bob Landry my go-to for many years for lawnmower maintenance. Upon meeting Bob for the first time I was reminded of my earlier youth when living in the UK. He was one of kind, harping back to the days when one could always find a readly good-hearted local guy (bloke) to fix things with a smile. My condolences to the family.
