I only knew Bob for maybe 7 years, but he was a great guy. He had an easygoing disposition, always with a grin, and a friendly conversationalist. His opinons may have differed, but it never got in the way of our friendship. A very good quality, not seen in too many people today!!! He will always be remembered............

Sending love and prayers for you, Uncle Bob, and for all the family gathered to remember you. Uncle Bob loved to make us laugh, and loved to give away quarters. I am sure he is showing his love for pumpkin pie to anyone who will look and smile now. Rest peacefully.

No one in CA. can recall the fastpitch softball days without thinking of Bob and all the Caldera Bros. as they were all a class act of gentlemen as well as exceptional athletes. We send out sincerest condolences on the loss of Bob. God bless all of you Calderas...
