A man well loved for his straight forward attitude and his kind heart. Knowing Bob for over thirty-two years I would describe him among many words as constant. The man I spoke to in 1979 was the same person in 2008 and so on, bold yet soft. :) Always up front about who he was as well as who you were, lol. To me it said alot about his character not to be a people pleaser but a realist. His loyalty and hard working ethics served his employers well through the years. The witty conversations and warm smiles are greatly missed. All our love to the family and many friends he has left behind. Jodi Doss Carroll & Family
