My sympathies and condolences to Nancy and their family. Bob was one of a kind and an unforgettable person. . He never met a stranger and was blessed with some of the best people-skills of anyone I have ever known. Reno is a better place because of him. Rest well my long-time friend.

Bob Cashell was the best boss I ever worked for!
I was the payables bookkeeper for five years in the 70s, I saw the kindness and generosity he extended to his employees and this community. He never denied a donation request for a kid's organization and never expected any accolades. Many times he said just write a check and don't say anything, I admired him greatly.
Rest In Peace, Bob.
God Bless you.

When I first met Bob he owned Boomtown Hotel and Casino. I managed Univision Spanish Language Television. We had many broad ranging discussions in regards to the evolving demographics of the Hispanic community, growth projections and cultural attributes. Bob and I kept kept up this...

Bob was always soft-spoken, but he could move mountains. We were fortunate to have benefitted from his service and presence. Thank you, Longview, for raising such a good guy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We remember some very fun dinners with Bob and Nancy while living in Reno. Bob was a true larger than life gentleman. Love, Diane and Tim Mooney
