I´m so sorry for your loss, I just lost my dad last week and 4 days later Bobby. My dad worked with Bob along time, and my brother worked with him too, he was a good guy and always helped my dad with his truck or just came to visit, I always knew him being my dads buddy. I´m sorry you´re also going through this.
