Sad tidings have come to our little town with the news of Bob Kuehl’s tragic death. Bob was the owner of the It Doesn’t Matter bar and an avid motorcycling enthusiast. It was the latter that ultimately led to his passing. Bob was a member of a biker club called the Eight Demons, and they were making a cross-country tour of the PI. Out on the distant island of Mindoro, Bob was attempting to pass a slower-moving vehicle on his big Harley-Davidson when he had a head-on collision with an oncoming car. Bob died in the hospital yesterday.
Bob’s untimely death is a stark reminder that you never know which day will be your last one on Earth. From all appearances, Bob lived his life to the fullest and did it his way on his terms. Riding that Harley was one of his passions, and perhaps some comfort can be found in knowing he was doing what he loved to do at the end of his life.
Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed by all whose lives you touched.
Condolences to Bob’s family. (Is it “Kuel” or “Kuehl”?)
I’m reminded of the recent bus/Jeepney crash.
Be careful on those roads!
Sad. Driving is crazy in third world countries, and being on a motorcycle adds another level to that.
Sympathies to his wife (and family).
One bad decision on the road is all it takes to end a life, that’s for sure. And I witness people making bad driving decisions every day here. I rode a Victory Liner bus home from Castillejos yesterday and was astounded at observing several close encounters with other wayward vehicles. It’s a miracle there aren’t more accidents.
Choosing not to drive in this country was one of my smarter decisions.
This is sad….
