A Eulogy for a Friend - In Memory of Robert Miniger - Episode #8

I am so devastated to have read about my friend Bob Miniger whose life was suddenly taken away on Monday afternoon (Feb 18, 2019) while riding his bike in Bonita Beach Road Monday afternoon. We last saw him on Saturday morning when he joined us for our open water swim at Vanderbilt Beach. Then spent time afterwards having breakfast at Fit n Fuel with a few friends. He was so excited about the year ahead with his forthcoming year as a triathlete. He was one of the best souls on this planet. Rest in peace Bob. I along with many of us will truly miss you.
