Our dear sweet Uncle Bob...I can't believe he is gone. To all of us nieces and nephews he was bigger than life ... He traveled around the country, excelled in his career pioneering computers, had an eye for the coolest car and the nicest backhoe, and was always, always there to love us and encourage us to learn everything we could.
We miss him already but remember him fondly as a tender and shining star that brightened our lives.

Bob was such a nice person. He and my husband Louis used to have some interesting discussions about politics and computers. They had fun debating issues with each other. He was always kind and entertaining. He had some funny jokes to share. Always being there for my friend Debbie and helping her out. She was always there to help him out also. He was just a good friend. Im so sorry for the family to have to lose him so soon. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
