Cindy and Family,
Bob was a good man with many good causes. Not only was I his barber and friend, I considered him a true human being. I will definitely miss him at Razor's Edge Salon.
I hope all of you will find comfort through the happy memories that he leaves behind. May God bless all of you and keep you in his care. I will sadly miss him.
His Barber,
