Not sure what to say?

Bob (AKA 'Rapid Robert') was liked by all who worked with him. He was one of the fastest in casing mail that I ever worked with. Fun loving with a terrific sense of humor. I'm 96 now, but only good memories of him remain.

Marybeth,
My prayers are with you and your family. He will always be in your heart.

Pat & family- So sorry to hear of Bob's death. It was a pleasure to have worked with him at the coop and certainly appreciate what he did for his country and the Assumption community. Bill Western

To Bob's family,
I will miss Bob, he was one of my heroes. I worked with him on the Pitts & St Lou mail trains and he didn't come by the nickname 'Rapid Robert' by accident. He was about the fastest and most knowledgable letter sorter on the 'road'. So glad I got to see him at the T. Haute reunion. My sincere sympathys are with the family.
