Robert Bachand

Bob was my Uncle and Godfather. He was a very active guy, always on the move. His expertise with cars helped me greatly over the years. He assisted me with the purchase of many automobiles including my favorite an 81 turbo trans am. I really had a blast with that one. Whenever I needed a vehicle worked on, he would tell me to bring it over & he would fix it saving me a lot of money. I will always be grateful for his generosity, time & knowledge. We will all miss him. Our family get...

I am very sad for the loss of my long time friend Bob. Together we biked, played tennis, went to the beach and dog track. It seems that he was always in movement! However a perfect evening would be sitting in lawn chairs outside of his Florida home. We would enjoy "happy hour" together as we waited to dine on his famous grilled grouper! Bob loved his fishing excursions. Most notably was his annual trek to far northern Minnesota to a go wall-eye fishing. He still had family up there and...

I was one of Bob´s old girlfriends-one of a legion through the decades- Bob sure led a life, you could say! I´ve had the the privilege of staying close friends (more surrogate family, really)with Bob for 45 years. If you knew Bob- then you knew he was a hard worker-30 plus years at Ladish Co. and always worked side jobs , too. Cars especially were his passion-fixing mechanical problems or refurbishing old cars. If this wasn´t a full plate by itself, the man loved all sports and excelled at...

My condolences to family and friends. I rennet bob as as athletic guy who enjoyed life. He was Friendly and liked mingling with people I remember him dancing and laughing. He was willing to help. With his mechanical abilities to those of us who had none of those talents. May he rest in peace

Bob was one of a kind. When it came to athletics, he could outdo anyone half his age whether it was golf, tennis, softball, running or riding his bike. He competed in Senior olympics and was always a star. When it came to pull-ups, he put everyone to shame, believe me I know. He was a good storyteller and a great friend. Bob will be sorely missed!

Deepest sympathies to the family. Bob was such a great neighbor, always coming over to chat whenever I came home. I will miss those visits.
