Dan and Deb, my senserious sympathy on the passing of Bob. I have a great memeroy of Bob and his buddies at your home at White Lake that still brings a smile when I think about it. Bob live a great life and was rich with friend and family! That speaks volumes about the kind of man Bob was.

Adrianse Family, We are so sorry for your loss. We met "Mr. Bob" when our oldest child's bus stop was at his driveway -- we laughed about the fact that he was the only neighbor without school-aged kids at that time, yet hosted the bus stop! He always had a smile, a wave, and even the occasional whistle! He will be missed and please know you are in our prayers. -The Murphys

I am not sure how our days will be the same without our "mr. Bob"." He has given our family more love, laughter, tractor rides, and Popsicles than we ever thought possible. He was a true friend and one we miss greatly! We love you Mr. Bob!

I've only known Bob a year but he made quite an impact on me in that short time. He lived next door to the love of my life and his generosity and spirit was infectious. I will truly miss him and never forget him!

I am one of the very lucky neighbors on Appleview. I have so many wonderful memories of Big Bob...aka 'Santa Claus' for so many years to our children, always there to help with anything we needed, putting his chairs out in the driveway and before you knew it, neighbors would sit down and visit with him. His heart was so big!! He will be missed very much.

We had the honor of knowing "Mr Bob" through our daughter Kristi, as they were neighbors. His love and kindness has touched so many. He will be missed for his trucking and fishing stories along with his love for his family and friends.
To his family;
The Scales are closed, the loading dock is empty, the log book is up to date. May the keepers of the highway guide him on his final run.

Sometimes life has a tendency to separate and to cause distance between those that you love but that doesn't mean you stopped loving. I will never forget the summers spent as a child out on "Big Bob's" boat and the first time he took me with him on a truck run at 2:00 am for spartan stores when I was about 10 years old. There were many other great times I will never forget. Thank you grandpa
