I first met Bob over thirty years ago. Through the years we maintained a business relationship that fast grew into a personal friendship. We always had much in common as we had many common ties to North La. Bob was always a man of his word and someone who knew the drilling business. I was proud to call him a friend. Although we rarely saw each other in recent years I always maintained my deep respect for this good man. He will truly be missed. Please know that Bob, Miss Lynn and each of you will be remembered in my prayers.
