To the family of Bob Sears,
I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a great guy to work with. I will always remember his biggest complaint at work was about his uniforms...long sleeves were always too short and trouser legs not long enough, inside joke was that we better not see him come to work in 'shorts'! What a sight that would have been! He was one nice guy who always turned a bad situation into a good one.
God Bless You!

We will always remember Bob's smile and his laugh. Gone too soon.
Our thoughts are with you always, Diane. Robin & Ron
