Missing you, Bob, every single day of my life. You were my rock and a gentle giant with a huge heart. I love you and will see you again someday.

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...
