I remember Bobby all thru school, with that childish smile he always had, and continued to carry with him. "When you see Bobby, you see that smile." My thoughts and prayers are with your family, for I know you are now smiling in Heaven. It was a pleasure knowing you, and growing-up with you Bobby.

Barb, Leanne & Amy
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time, but we take great comfort in knowing that Bob is now with our Lord and Savior. Bob was one of the hardest working men, we have ever known, He was alot of fun and always had a smile, and great personality. He was known by some of his co-workers as the Ever Ready Bunny. There was no stopping Bob until the job was done. It was truly a pleasure to know him. Towne Pride has lost an exceptional person and he will be greatly missed and it was honor to know him and it's hard to say good bye to a good friend and person.
