Bob was very influential in my life and I loved him like a father. He was generous, funny and intelligent and most importantly loved his family greatly. I am so blessed to have known him and cherish the memories we shared. My son Jason was so very fortunate to have him as a grandfather-- how they enjoyed each others company and loved each other deeply. He will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.

I cherish many fond memories of Bob. His kindness and wit (and pinochle prowess) made working in the Construction Department of Fluor both interesting and memorable. I especially remember a Secret Santa gift he made for me one year that was both thoughtful and hilarious. Chuck and I will miss him and his infectious smile, but I know that God is getting a kick out of it.
