Bob was a wonderful man with a great heart. He knew just how to console others with just the right thing to say at the right time. I had the pleasure of spending time with Bob for about 6 months and we then went our separate ways. We always stayed friends and kept in touch. I had the pleasure of meeting his Mom once whom I know he loved very much. I will have his Mom and his fiancee Becky in my prayers. Love ya Bob, you will be missed greatly!
