Bob, one of the nicest, caring, and helpful people you will ever run across in life and one you will never forget. He always was there with a positive seasoned attitude in addressing all problems in a manufacturing environment. I as a young expediter knew working with Bob in the late 60's was a look forward to experience. A true representative of the Cliff Garrett Airesearch experience. Martha and I send our prayers and a big "We are sorry" to Laurie and the family.
