It has taken a while for me to compose myself to make this post. I received a call earlier this evening that we lost Bob Ferguson. I am crushed, many don't know how close we were, "my brutha from anotha mutha" as we told each many times over the years. This one really hurts.

I talked to Bob right before Christmas for well over an hour, we were looking forward to seeing each other at this year's Indy Masters. One of the nicest guys I've ever known............

Don and Bob’s Family,

So sorry for the loss of Bob, what a great guy. I only talked with him on the phone many times through the years, but I have
one of his only front exhaust 21-Hydros from Jim Wilson that Bob made for him. What craftsmanship is all that I can say. He made one of a kind quality boats.

May He Rest In Peace,

Mark Sholund
