Bob Songer, Jasper Alabama RIP

[Joe R.]

News of Bob Songer passing reached me today. Bob lived in Jasper Alabama and owned a 1963 Roadster and a 1978 Silver Anniversary. Bob and Carrol his wife were always present at the Cypress Gardens meet each year. A delightful couple and always involved in the NCRS. Bob served as the Region IV director and I believe he was the first director of Region IV. Bob was preceded in death by his wife Carrol.

Bob was affectionately know to us as the "Superintendent" as he was a retired school superintendent. A super nice guy. May he Rest In Peace

Dick,

Bob was Mr. Education in Jasper and surrounding towns. The football field as well as other facilities in and around Jasper carry the name of Dr. Bob Songer. After his retirement he was asked to come back and build a new High School Facility for Jasper. He did it without hesitation and without payment.

Proud to have been able to call him my friend.

The last time I visited Bob and Carrol on my way back from the Florida Regional they invited me into their home without hesitation. They were suffering from Alzheimers and didn't even know who I was. But in the Southern tradition they treated me like family.

May they rest in peace.

Bob was one of the first members that I met when I first joined NCRS about 30 years ago. He was extremely kind and patient when explaining the many changes throughout the 63 model year. He was one of the good guys. I will remember him fondly.
