To the extended family of Bob, you are truely blessed to have had him as your head of family. He was a very caring man who could never to say no to someone in need. I remember when he and Sylvia managed the Lynnwood Roll-a-way, they ALWAYS showed a caring for the many many youngsters who skated there including my youngest daughter. I don't know if she loved skating there the best or wearing the smell of the rink floor when she got home. My late wife and I knew she was in good hands at the rink. I had the pleasure of getting to know Bob better the past year as a neighbor. He was quite the example of complete family man. We both shared stories of military days and the present day conflicts. He was always willing to talk about household or outdoor projects. It is true that HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND HIS COUNTRY. He has been an inspiration to alot of people. God Bless you Bob and your family. We have all learned from you.
