I only knew Big Bob for a short time. But he was a great guy with a wonderful soul. He was a big teddy bear. I am blessed that I was able to know him.

Remembering Bobby was so easy. He was so like his Dad. I have many good childhood memories of Thanksgiving together with our families in Greenfield,Ind.All the animals when you lived on the highway and just sitting around the kitchen table.You'll be missed always.
