So very sorry to hear about Bob. I remember him, Paul Funderburgh and my dad playing cards in our basement. I would always take them snacks. when I got older he put carpet and flooring in my house. I also have a picture of him with my dad and the rest of the gang in their bowling league. he was a great guy!!

I knew Bob my entire life, he was a very good friend of my parents. In fact Bob was the last surviving member of the group of friends. He was a very important part of my life as a young man. I remember hunting and fishing trips, especially remembering days of staying at Grandma Kimle's house on Middle Bass Island and endless day of fishing on Lake Erie. Later in life I worked for Bob in the summers when I was in college. He was a big part of my life! Kind of lost contact in recent year, but I will never forget him. Rest In Peace Bob, you deserve it!
