Bob was always a great guy. He could make you laugh and smile even when you didn't want to. He became a good friend. Many times he was a partner in crime at work. He would do anything to help someone but when you did something for him he never let you forget he appreciated the gesture. His carefree smiling soul was contagious when you were near him. May God Bless him and his family. He will be greatly missed

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Bob as well as Miss Stefania and her family. Like a few others, I had the pleasure of meeting him during his days in Texas, and he was an absolute delight to be around. There was never enough time to be sad with him around because before you knew it he had found something to say or do that would make you smile from ear-to-ear or laugh like there was no tomorrow. The lists of memories of Bob are endless, but we will cherish each and every one of them forever. May his dear, sweet soul rest in peace, and his spirit continue to guide his family and friends.

My heart goes out to Robert's family and to Stefania. Robert was a co-worker at Home Depot and continued to be a good friend ever since. He made me laugh every time I saw him, boosted my spirits when I was down, and always showed me what a good heart he had. His smile and laughter changed lives every day. Robert- you will be missed.

Deepest sympathy to all of you. I had the pleasure of knowing Bob and working with him at Anthony Crane. He was a friendly and positive person. He always had a way to make me smile. I will always remember the times he would ask to drink my Coke Zeros and then, like a true gentleman coming in the next day to find a few dollars on my desk with a note to replace what he had taken, regardless of the fact that I didn't mind sharing. He was friendly and kind to everyone and made everyone feel like they were important. he will truly be missed.
