We're coming up on year 4 of your passing. I never stop missing you, Bob. My life will never be the same. Dad's gone, Mom's gone, you're gone, it's so hard not having you all here. You are always in my heart and will never be forgotten. You were the best big brother and a truly kind, gentle giant.

So sorry for you your loss. I had met him last year. By chance I was stopped across the street from his place on Fredric Kessler and noticed some trucks. Right about then Jesse and his family was pulling out of the lane and I stopped them to ask if they knew who owned the place. They said BOB. I gave them my contact information and Bob called me. I mowed the lot as a courtisy to him for I was interested in buying a truck. Bob was a stand up kink of guy. We need more Bob's on this planet. I will miss him. I will also continue to help maintain that property as long as the family is OK with that.
Would someone from the family please contact me?

Bob was a wonderful person. I will miss his kind & cheerful presence. They just don't make thoughtful and spirited souls like this man any more. The world could use more Bobs...
