My sincere condolences to Bob's family. I worked with Bob at GM, and was one of my Journeyman instructors while going through my apprenticeship. I truly enjoyed my time learning through him. A very wise and cheerful gentleman with a smile and sense of humor that could lighten up the dullest of work days. Welcome to Paradise with your beloved Faye my Friend, you will be longly remembered and missed.
