As soon as I saw Bob walk into a room I would start smiling, because I know that the jokes and laughing were about to begin! My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and loved ones. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

Bobby, you were my brother from another mother and even though I haven't seen you in over 40 years, I will never forget you coming into the house, saying hello to your other Mom and Dad. I lost my dad two years ago so perhaps you are talking with him today. Many wonderful memories on Quadic Lake. May God give your family mercy and peace at this time of loss. I will always remember you as my other brother.
