| My very good friend and local musician Robert(Pizza Bob)Neace passed away suddenly on Wednesday from a heart attack. I just got the news from his wife Kathleen who is still trying to catch her breath... he left behind her and 4 beautiful young boys..
He was a local gigging musician, worked the cruise ships and gambling boats, and had just recently hooked up with previous band members of "The Foundation" and were performing as
"The Rock Foundation".
He had made it to the finals for Nashville Star a couple of times, was a decent songwriter and even wrote a song for our Freecycling/Freesharing groups called "Don't throw it out" aka "The Freecycle Rag" which he gifted to our groups and all freecycling/freesharing groups worldwide.
he was one of our biggest supporters and could always be counted upon to help us with any of our events whether it was setting up, tearing down, or to bring his "Party truck" and mobile bandstand and to perform for the crowds at our Free-for-alls and other eco events which were sponsored by our group or which the group was invited to participate in.
anyone interested in hearing some of his songs or learning more about this good friend to Brevard and Charlotte and I can visit his website at Pizzabob.com
Goodbye Bob! Godspeed! See you on the other side!
I Love You Brother! and am going to miss you dearly!
RIP Bob,
Glenn

| Thank you... this is now 2 friends of mine who have passed away in the past week.
my neighbor in Malabar, Robert Dean whom we had rented the cottage to for the landlords passed away last Saturday..... this is the husband of the homeless couple who we tried to give a hand up and help to, and then had the landlord's poison them against us when they were cited for the code and health and safety violations on the property.... at the time they were very behind in their rent, and I guess that they/he feared our actions would have repercussions for them...
then the landlord's made them their Agent, and in fear he and I had a major falling out.
he (Bob Dean) died of meningitis and brain swelling/stroke and collapsed in the back yard of the home, and it may be attributable to the contaminated well on the property. the aerator was contaminated with algae/amoebas/frogs and lizards etc... as well as having fertilizers and garden chemicals leaching into the ground less than 20 feet from the wellhead.
having a bad week... I will miss them both.
