Not sure what to say?





Bob, it was a real "pressure" helping you at the bank (as you would say) and you will be very much missed! You always gave us bank gals a hard time but it was so much fun picking on you and having you pick on us just as much if not more! I will never forget you always calling me "hot rod" for my speed on the teller line. You will be missed bob!

Bob was ALWAYS an inspiration, if not for him, my dream of becoming a Realtor would not have come true. Thanks Bob!

My thought are with the remaining family. I had know Bob for 15 years, even stayed with him when I was in Redding for a fishing trip or for the brief period I worked with him. He lived to work and when he retired I was concerned about how he would deal with it. I am grateful that with his illness's he did not suffer or become incapicated. Bob was larger than life, I miss you Bob.
