Bob had a terrific dry wit sense of humor and there was never any doubt as to what his feelings were on any given subject when asked! He was a joy to be around. One of my fondest memories of Bob was how he always referred to Juliana as "My Beautiful Bride".

Bob taught me how to work with people and how to love life. Most importantly, he taught me how to appreciate the people you love and who love you. My life is richer for having known Bob, and I'll try to live my life every day with the enthusiasm he lived his.
