Lynne and Family,
So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a wonderful man who loved his family, his country and his profession. I will always remember our time together at TBGEC and in particular at the Field Museum. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of your loss. A great and proud man of his family, his years in the Army, and his years of service in Local 134. I worked with Bob for many years at TBGEC. He was a great teacher of many 134 electricians that passed threw the Field Museum. Rest in peace, Bob.

God Bless,

Chris Pawell
