I remember Bob speaking at Meyers functions during my time there as well as DJ'ing our dances, and later hearing him on the radio. Over the last 10 years I have known him as a customer, where he had many wonderful mementos of his career and family life framed. I would often joke with Bob about where he was going to put his newest framed pieces and he once showed me photos of his office, there was not a bare spot on the wall just wall-to-wall frames! We had a good chuckle over that. He will be greatly missed here at the frame shop, with his friendly smile and warm personality. My sincerest condolences to Toni and his beautiful girls.

I'm shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Bob. He was an altar boy for my first wedding and ironically, he DJ'd my second wedding almost 20 years later. To say he will be missed is an understatement. God bless his family with strength and peace in their time of grief.
