Although I never knew your father Alex, I wanted to take a moment to reach out to you to tell you how sorry I am to hear of his passing.  Rest easy knowing he's in a better place now and take solace in the fact that you'll see him again one day.  Hold on to that fundamental quality of faith.  Have faith that on the other side of your pain is something good.  Hold strong my friend.  

I saw Bob on the tv show American Pickers and he was so delightful that I just had to look him up on the internet. I was so sorry to find out that he had passed away. I felt a connection with him and even with not knowing him it has brought sadness and tears   Thanks for the opportunity to let me express my feelings. 

I've known the Trepaniers  since the 1970s some of my best friends were Treat trepanier. Danny Trepanier. Harry Trepanier. Rosemary Trepanier. Robert  Trepanier....very well known In movie production agencies for their antique bikes . Cars .and Items.  the Trepaniers were known in the movie Casper were some of the antique items were used on set.  Others in the music business such as the band ...Three dog nights.. Used his antique bikes for a record cover . will be missed from David Argandona 

To many wonderful experiences  -  will be back to share some!

I met Bob on a student film set and he encouraged me to see his collection of bicycles if I ever wanted to fill my modeling book with interesting pictures. He's by far the most fascinating, kind-hearted, and warmest person I've ever met. 

I called Bob several months later, as my friends and I were doing a modeling shoot. He invited us over to his house, introduced us to his children and pets, and let us take over the attic, refusing to accept compensation from us kids. The photos we took are the best ones I have. He will be missed.

I used to live across the street from the Radiator shop when I was very young and remember driving by the Bob's house and was always amazed at the all the great stuff he had. I remember the huge front wheel bikes and the old London bus well. What a great guy he was. Sorry to hear of his (our) loss.

"Vicki, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.  I had the opportunity to have had lunch with Bob a number of times during the past several years and reconnect.  He will be missed, but I believe he is presently in the presence of God where there is no sickness or suffering.  Thanks for posting all the photos and music." 

                                                                       Jim Hughes (Upland, CA)

My deepest condolences to Vickie & family. Bob leaves behind an incredible legacy and he will not be forgotten by many in the vintage bicycle & car family. Bob was incredibly generous and so nice to me when he had only just met me! He touched and inspired so many people - rest in peace Bob, we love you!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May he rest in peace. Bob may be gone in body, but he will never be forgotten.  Thank you for posting all of the wonderful photos.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Vickie,
