Just heard about B0b's passng. I have known Bob and his family since I was in the 3rd. grade. He took my wedding pictures when I married Richard Bilski and his sister Kaye was in my wedding and I was in hers.
I saw Bob a few years back at Ryders in Painesville when he came with his family to hear my brother Larry Whinnery sing. He was a wonderful man. Rest in peace Bob.

I knew Bob from Lake Communicators and also remember him coming into the schools when I was in middle school and high school as the photographer. he will be missed.

During the 70's I worked for Bob as receptionist. He was a great boss and was always pleasant. My heartfelt condolences go out to Bob's family.
With deepest sympathy, Marg (Mackey) Nobles.
