Bob was 40 years a friend since teaching together at Alleman High School in Rock Island. He was a man of dedication to serving the people of God, adventure, humor, and many talents and personality traits that made our friendship endure distances and time.
I treasure the 3 days I had with Bob in Las Vegas, two weeks before he died, when laughter, small outings and re-living memories captivated our time together. Thanks Bob for everything.
My heart shares the sadness of all who knew Bob, loved him, and will miss him - yet, he is forever in our hearts, while happily resting in God's arms eternally.
