Bob and I shared more than ten years working together at Christianson's Seed Company. We became very close friends enjoying many good times with our circle of friends. He will always be in my heart and thoughts. I am thinking of his mother and brother and extending heartfelt condolences to them.

I knew Bob from Skagit Valley College. He was a delight as he always seemed to have a smile and something humorous to say. The first time I met him he told me I would never forget his name because it was spelled the same way backwards and forwards, "B-O-B." And he is right, I have never forgotten. His smiling face and positive attitude will certainly be missed by those here at Skagit Valley College who knew him. My condolences to his family.

So young, so tragic, such a smart intellect lost, he was a great speaker and was always the nicest fellow anyone could ever meet...RIP Bob, you will be missed...

Bob was an interesting & wonderful man. We were good friends many years ago, and for awhile he even provided a home for my cat when I couldn't keep her in my apartment! He was a great friend & will be missed. My heart goes out to his mom & brother during this difficult time.
