Bob was survived by his wife of 43 years, Marguerite; daughter, Kim (Gino); brothers, Jack (Carol), Rick (Ami); and several nieces and nephews.

Bob was wonderful employer, friend and mentor. He had the true heart of a servant and was always thinking of others. With his warm smile and charming sense of humor, he was always a pleasure to be around. He had unwavering integrity and will be greatly missed. I feel blessed to have him be part of my life.

Bob was one heck of a brother-in-law, a wonderful Uncle, a marvelous son in law and just a down right good guy. I will miss him: today, tomorrow and for ever good bye and love you. Hope you said Hi to Jesus for me. Carol Lee Brugger (Grand Rapids MI)

Bob was a good friend for over thirty years and will be missed. We took many trips out West to ski, and marveled at the beauty of the mountains. We also worked on many Middletown Festivals for the community. I pray that Bob is home with God and we continue to pray for God's comfort for Pudge and Kim.
