There is nothing that I can type here that would do justice to the coolest man I have ever known. My grandpa was simply the epitome of what everyone wishes they could have in a grandfather. I am insanely lucky for what I had, and I will always regret living out of town to where I could no longer see him daily. Whether you called him Bob, Bobby, Dad, or Grandpa, Robert Kroth was an awesome man who's life had extreme impact.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Bob was always a great gentleman and taught me a lot about playing chess. I cherish the time we spent together when I was a young man. He will be missed.
