I remember Bob fondly when going to Las Vegas with Dresser people. My Aunt Helen Neporadny worked with Bob. We all had a lot of fun on that trip. Sheila you and Bob had to go to school for your son's show and tell. Wonderful memories of a wonderful family man. Very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
