We were just talking about him! So grateful to have him as a friend and for introducing us to Zydeco music with his favorite "Dont Mess with My Toot Toot by Rockin' Sydney on Aligator Stomp. Impossible not to dance as loud as he blasted it. Such happy days! Generous beyond belief he was and so entertainly nutty. Miss him dearly!

My favorite memories of our friend Bob are his ever present smile and his infectious laughter. All who know him know of his deep love for his cats, at whatever their numbers. You will be missed, rest in peace my friend.

Bob, a great friend and hard worker always thoughtful and dear. He knew how to make you laugh and enjoy life. We live in his home state of Philadelphia and years back he showed us a great time at all fun local sites, they will always remind us of him. Took us to the original Chickie and Pete's what fun!
He will be missed, to young to go but he will join his partner and be at peace.

Bob was more than a friend -- he was a best buddy and one of the sweetest. Kids and animals couldn't get enough of him. He was incredibly generous and made any gathering festive with his warmth and laughter, always arriving with armloads of food, drink and sweets for all. We are not ready to let him go and will miss our wonderfully silly old pal as long as we live.

We will miss Bob in the packaging equipment sales world. Bob was a great guy and educated me in various ways with equipment.

We will miss him
