Bob, it's been years since you passed away, but your memory will always live on in our hearts. Fond memories of you as my big brother continually fill my mind, even after all these years. You were truly a gentle soul who always saw the best in people and avoided confrontation. You continue to be missed by those who knew and love you.

Bob, I want your family to know that New Berlin wasn't the same after you left. You did so much in recording the history when you were our Historian. Your files were easy to work with after I took over. Your inventions were so interesting. I'll never forget the battery you made and brought into the Library. Dorie Honeywell hooked those two wires together and boy! did she jump. You were a very talented person and I am pleased to have known you.
I am the former New Berlin Library Director and current New Berlin Town Historian
