I was a long time customer of Bob. He was always there for me and really enjoyed his work. He always treated me fair and became a good friend over the years that we worked together. Rest in peace! Prayers and condolences to the family.

I have fabulous memories of Bob and Hilda kidding around and enjoying life with my parents--when they would go out on the town together my Mom was always thrilled to dance with Bob. Having them at my parents' 50th Anniversary party really made the whole night be special-wisecracks and memories shared over the years--one time Bob found a special size tire my Dad needed for a sports car he had (long story) so carried it over his shoulder to my Dad's office and my Dad had to carry it home on the train! That was Bob. My best to you boys-Patti Brunelle
