8 years? Unbelievable! The many good times we shared are still "etched in my mind" and become more appreciated with every passing year. Take care my friend.

I've known Bob for many years through work. He was a joy to know, always upbeat, always excited about life and the trips he would have planned to see family members or a reunion trip. He will be missed by many.

My deepest condolences to the family for your loss.Psalms 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years,And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.He was special indeed.

Bob was the epitomy of a professional salesman. I first met Bob in the mid 80s when he was with Kaiser Steel. I had the good fortune to continue that business relationship for many many years thereafter. From the senior executives to the clerks, everyone was Bob's friend. He was respected by everyone in the industry whether they be customers, competitors or just acquaintences. The pipeline and large diameter pipe industry has lost a true giant. Rest in peace my friend.
