Wishing a good rest to Bob Moore, who turned his company over to the workers in 2010. 700 workers now own Bob’s Red Mill. (I call Bob’s oatmeal “The oats of righteousness” as a consequence). Bob lived until 94. That’s a good run. https://www.oregonlive.com/food/2024/02/founder-of-bobs-red-mill-bob-moore-dies-at-94.html #pdx #oregon #rip
