Audrey, Greg, and Tracy - I am very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have great memories growing up in California Meadows as your neighbors and remember Bob as a very kind and good man.

Audrey and family. I'm very sorry to read of Bob's passing. I was around him on Mare Island for about 15 years and he was my favorite foreman. I was his lead mechanic when he was on graveyard shift and enjoyed working for him. We called him Uncle Bob and RV. I still think about him often but haven't seen him in years. I will miss him. He was a great guy.
