Dear Marge and family,
Bob was a very special man to our family. When we lived in CA, Bob was the most loyal friend you could ever have and was always there to "watch your back"! You could see the hard Marine in him - but he was like a big teddy bear once you got into his heart. He will be missed by all of us. We were Blessed to be a part of his life and love! You are all in our prayers. Love, Susie G
