We are very sorry to hear of Bob's death. He was a great guy. Loved seeing his picture in the paper a year or so ago regarding a ticket he got at the Court House for parking in the wrong lot. I couldn't help by know that Bob's response to the incident was pure Bob! He will be missed by all his friends and family. May Bob walk in the footprints of God.
