Not sure what to say?





Bob, As time goes bye, I still think back to days of making dealer calls with you. What fun we had with the customers, and you always had something nice to say to everyone! You are missed by many!

Bob, though we never met, I am the oldest daughter of Billy C. Marshall, and I understand you two were very close during your service time together. Just this past year, my dad and I were reunited after a lifetime of being apart. When I asked my dad if there was anyone in the world he would like me to search for, he gave me your name, and the city and state of where you once lived. So I searched for you online. And here we are. I wish I could have found you sooner, and that I had been able to meet you, and reunite you with my dad. He spoke very highly and very fondly of you. Know that he will miss you, and grieves your passing. With love and sincerity, Alishia A. (Marshall) Shockey

I worked in the office at Gorman Company back in the 70s when Bob was a salesman. He was a wonderful and caring man who made the world a happy place to share. Although my life took me in a different direction I have never forgotten the friends I made there. May God watch over his family during this most difficult time and know he suffers no more. God bless.
