Around 20 years ago, I was Bob's roommate overnight at this most magnificent private golfing complex in Michigan The Lost Dunes.
Bob asked me to be part of 16 Golfers playing over the two day period - a 1st class trip.
What I did not know was that Bob snored so loud
I would be up all night with no sleep!
Too Funny
My Dad used to tell me "to be a good talker, you also need to be a good listener"
I learned a lot from Bob as he was both a good talker and someone that cared if you had a problem.
I will never forget him handing me $27,000 in
100 bills that Bruce P. kept in a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist after my team won the 2000 Get Even. His comments rivaled Don Rickles, for those that knew and loved him.
I am so happy I was able to spend a Christmas party gathering with him this past season.
He will be missed.

There are no words to express our deepest sorrow to you Lynn, Cara, Jonas, Sandra , Kathy ,Larry and all your beautiful family . Just knowing Robert for a short time left his mark on our hearts . One of our greatest memories will be his 75th birthday celebration at the cottage, his warm laugh and gift as a tremendous orator. He suffered so much but with grace and dignity with such courage with the heart of a lion. How he loved all of you and especially his Brady and Maeve the lights of his life . Forever remembered never forgotten a truly good man .
Love and our deepest condolences Edward and Enza Pasquale and family ❤

My dad, Jay Hoban was friends with and work for Robert selling Miracle Span Steel Buildings many years ago. I always liked him, he was very funny and a great friend to my dad. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I'll always remember he liked malt vinegar on his French fries... He was a GREAT man, indeed!

Dear Coco......a joyful friend who loved life and loved to share. He had a ready smile and a twinkle in his eye. I loved his stories and always felt weirdly safe in spite of his sense of adventure! I admired his loyalty and respected his hard work. He has left me with fun memories and my favorite thing:.....he always called me Dar ...... I loved that!

Lynne,Cara,Jonas.......I'm sorry and sad.....but thanks for sharing him.

Lynn and Family, Although I never got the chance to know your husband well, I know he was a force and was hugely respected and loved at IGC. When I would see him at IGC, often times with your grandchildren, you could clearly see the love, vitality and tremendous warmth of your family life. I know you are feeling great sorrow at this time. You are in our prayers, Nancy & Gordon Reichard
