Even though he was twelve or so years younger than Crane. My dad's name was also Bob, so any time we went out in public, like to a restaurant, my dad would attract attention for his resemblance to Bob Crane, especially when someone in our party called him 'Bob.'

This happened several times even after Bob Crane's death was reported. Strange way for me to grow up.
