After 42 years of making and servicing oars and sculls, Bob Beeman is retiring, Concept2 announced. 

A familiar and friendly face at regattas across North America and around the world, Beeman has saved the day for many, from novices to Olympians.

“A man proud of his craft can be found fixing anything, from oars at the Head of the Charles Regatta to a spectator’s leather boots at Henley Royal Regatta,” the oar and erg company said in a statment. “You may still see him traveling to a few events doing oar repair, though.”

Thumbs up to a man known for giving them, with a smile.
