Read MoreBreakfast at Classic was my favorite way to start the day because Bob (and Roger) were always ready to greet you!! Mary and Kathy were ready to serve. My heart sank when I learned of Bob's passing. His restaurant and he touched so many lives. I'm sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers!

Our mother, Helen Allen and daughter, Joyce wish to send our love to one of the most compassionate man we know! He always made our visit with our family to Classics the best. I can remember when my aunt, mother, and I would get those super hamburgs and desert he would always pack an extra meal for mom. Mom, at the age of 94 rode her grandsons motorcycle to Classics and Bob couldn't believe it! We send our love to his family and know that we will always stop into his friendly cafe! God Bless!...

My wife and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to Bob and his Family. He was truly a gentilemen and always extended his love toward all who came into his present. Master Chief Musielewicz and I , Chief Swan would have lunch at the classic cafe and enjoyed every minute , for the employees were always on top of their game. He is greatly missed, as Apostole Paul stated, absent from the Body Present with the LORD. Bob is with the Father in Heaven. Thank you Robert W. Swan Sr USNR-R.

Our deepest sympathies to Bob's family and associates. He had a special quality of making his customers at the cafe feel like much more than customers. He always referred to us as "The Professors" and made us feel at home.
