I first met Bob in the early 1970's when he was calling on Multi-Metals where I worked. When I went to work at Atlas Machine I saw that Bob called on them also. I bought my abrasives from him, we had lunch on several occasions, played golf together. Bob was a friend of mine. I miss him.

I will always remember Bob for his marvelous smile and laugh. He and Bertha were so much fun to be around.

I bought my abrasive supplies from Bob for forty years. He was a friend and a gentleman.
