I too, worked with Bob in the Buick toolroom in the '70's and '80's. He was always an even tempered and kind soul. Prayers for your family. Rest well, Robert.

My heart goes out to Bob's family. I worked with Bob at Buick in the 70's, to then later see him in meetings in AA. Always very kind & always smiling. May you rest in peace Bob. We will never forget you.

To Bob's Family,
Thank you for sharing your dad with the local AA community. His steadfast dedication to recovery helped many people as well as me. Bob and I attended countless meetings together. He always wore his gentle smile, had a cheerful light in his eyes and dressed impeccably. He is a true gentle man and gentleman.
May your memories bring you the same smiles and happy eyes.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of cousin Bob. He came to many of our family events and we enjoyed his company. He was a kind gentleman. Our Fathers were cousins. My Father was Louie Newland. We shall keep the memory of Bob in our hearts and send love and prayers for his family during this difficult time. May the Lord God send His peace and comfort to all who loved him. God bless the Bandy Family. Please contact me so we may pay our final respects to your wonderful father. Thank you...
