Not sure what to say?

I am very sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was a good guy to work with. Always helpful and always patient with me asking what were probably dumb questions.

I spent about 4 months with my Bubba in the summer 1987. I will never forget how he asked me go to the library and get books and videos on "how to Polka dance", so he could dance at an upcoming wedding. We spent hours at the end of the street practicing Polka dancing. At 18 years old it was kind of embarrassing but the memory is priceless! It was a "John Candy/Uncle Buck" moment. You will be missed.

I remember when I was about 5 years old I would wear his shoes because I wanted to be like him. He still has shoes too big to be filled. You will be missed " Bobert"

I will always remember the first time Bob took us camping at White Bear Lake. He had the truck packed just so, ready with tents, gear, and all the fixings to execute his gourmet camp-side meals. We had a magical boat ride on the lake at night. I got to see the Northern Lights--first time ever! Also heard the loons & moose (also firsts for this "Southern girl"). Saw eagles nests. It's one of my very favorite memories of all. Bob is a beautiful soul who will be missed every day.

I will miss you, my sweet baby brother -

Was a pleasure working with him and a great guy. I'll miss your input and help.
