I worked for Bob for several years in Camden. He was a terrific boss (one of the best) and a great, caring man. I kept in touch until I was laid off in 2010. Deepest sympathies to all.

Bob was one of the nicest people I ever met. Kind considerate, civil, bright, sociable. He seemed to be able to comprehend and understane how to do many things. Either in the garden or the many building projects he completed like a professional. To Harriette and the rest of the family our prayers are with them. God Bless them all. The Fazen Family

I love you dad! You were a great dad and amazing grandfather of " your boys"! You have battled a long time with this disease, and I am glad you can finally stop suffering! I promise to take care of mom, as we remember the good times, and great family moments we will always treasure. Words can not express how sad I am that I can't see or hear you anymore, but it will hold on to the special moments we have shared. I miss the best dad anyone could have! I'll always be your little girl.
