I enjoyed getting to know Bob and spending much time with him at Redstone Highlands in Murrysville. I enjoyed serving him his breakfast and lunch meals. I enjoyed listening to him telling me of stories of his life. I will truly miss him. God bless him and may he rest in peace with his wife whom he loved deeply

Bob was a good man, quiet and very smart. I ran with him with Medic One. He treated us women with respect. You have my deepest sympathy.
