"He touched many lives with his generous spirit and positive, enthusiastic outlook on life"... Says it all.

It was a pleasure to have met Bob, and I will always remember the day we took the boys Snowboarding along with Carol, it was fun, our "Snow Day" and Bob certainly made it so.

I gained having met Bob and I am thankfull.
