My very heartfelt sympathy to Bob's family. I was his dental hygienist for 6 years at Dr. Hermansen's office and he was one of my very special patients. Fabulous man, gentleman, and very charming. I will miss him very much.

My condolences to the entire family. I met Bob in 1987. His smile and demeanor made us friends instantly! He was such the perfect businessman. If he could do it, he would! I loved working with him. I appreciated all of the great things he has done for all of the charities he was always involved in. Whenever there was a function at the hotel where I worked, he always made it a point to be sure that we connected just for kind words. His wife was an angel!
Your smile and graciousness...

We are so sorry for your loss of Bob. Lorna was a childhood friend of Bob & Mary. Their parents from the same village in Italy. Ed was a friend from their times at SCU & served in the Army Reserves together. We have only fond memories from our times with Bob. We met at Bob & Nadine's wedding in 1955! What a joy that was. We know this is a sad time for your family but we know your happy memories of him will sustain & comfort you in the years ahead. Sincerely, Lorna & Ed Panelli
