Bob was the consummate volunteer during his many years of volunteer service to Red Arrow Golf Course. Always a positive presence, he was a role model for customer service and industrious dedication, performing site improvements with his tool kit by his side. I will truly miss his weekly update emails and his wonderful personality.

Rest in Peace Bob.

I just learned of Bobby's passing, and I want to offer my condolences to Cathy and her family as well as all the Baliks. I grew up with Bobby as a first cousin. We competed in high school sports and maintained our close friendship up to the present. I will miss our Chicago dinners with he and Cathy. Bobby has earned his heavenly reward. Rest in peace, Bobby.
