Didn't know much about him other than his campaign with Lawyer Ron which was magnificent. God Bless him and his family through this difficult time

If you're blessed with good health be thankful and make the most of your life. Bob didn't have that luxury but was still highly competitive, successful, and respected.

Rest in peace.

Randy Moss, who grew up next door to the Holthus Family in Hot Springs, paid tribute to Bob beautifully today on ATR at the bottom of Hour 3. 8:30a on the replay Thanksgiving morning. Or at Archive.

His tribute was awesome---what a great experience he had as a kid!!

RIP and sympathy to all who were close to Mr. Holthus! I loved Lawyer Ron's 3 year old run.
