I first met Rob at "J. Alfred's", a fun and funky bar in Dallas, Texas. He was the manager and due to me hanging out there for weeks, he hired me to work in the kitchen. Over the years we worked together in several bars and restaurants. Along the way, we traveled to Europe together, along with 3 other friends (Doug, Mike & Dick), for several months, going to Luxembourg, Holland, France & Spain. Rob, with 2 other fellow travelers (Doug & Mike) ventured over to Morocco. Several years later, Rob and I were majority owners of a jazz bar in Dallas: "Texas Majic Asylum", where there was a 12 piece jazz band from North Texas University's 1 O'clock Lab Band students on Sunday nights. We also had the great jazz pianist, Red Garland, paly 2 nights a week. Over time I had lost contact with Rob, but I was so very glad we were able to reconnect over the last couple of years. I treasured our phone conversations and was hoping to see Rob in the coming months. I will miss you, my dear friend. Keep rocking the drums! Stephen Seybold
