    Damn! I was pulling for him to hit 100.
    R.I.P. thanks for all the memories!


    Bob also trained under Bruce Lee for many years from my understanding.

    It amazes me how a person can be such a part of your life and you have never met them.

    R.I.P. Bob.

    Happy Gilmore!!

    Some of my earliest childhood memories are of watching TPiR with my grandmother…

    Yes I did, I know for a fact he trained under Bruce Lee.
    I just do not know how many years.
    A lot of celebrities trained with Bruce Lee.

    Someone will do a comic soon of him at the pearly gates with "Bob Barker, come on down!" coming from the other side. Sad loss, but a life well lived.

    Great person, wish I could have met him. In high school I sometimes had the nick-name Bob Barker, cause I'd sell anything if the price was right lol.
