Robert H Hegney

Robert H. (Bob) Hegney passed away this weekend.

Bob was a stalwart and well known to everyone in the Metro NY, Pennsylvania bike industry. He was 53 years old and has been involved in bicycle sales since he was a kid working at his dads' shop in Hastings on Hudson,NY.

Bob was a funny guy. He really didn't care much for bicycles or riding them, but somehow, carved a nich for himself in an industry populated almost entirely by cycling enthusiasts. It was his superior work ethic and undeniable wit and character that allowed this. On any of his often visits to our shop, he could be relied on to provide a wealth of information. Everything from the joke of the day to the barometer on the current state of the industry.

Guys like this don't come along every day. He was truly a one of a kind. Even though his son, Bob jr. will be taking over the business, I feel a large hole will be left in his place.

Thanks for all your help, friendship and advice Bob. You'll be sorely missed.
