Robert F. "Bob" Gardner

I'll miss Bob hosting those late July Buick Luncheon Summer reunions. Always a great time to visit with Buick work associates.

Bob was one of my first boyhood friends, He lived on Windemere St several blocks north of my home on Pierce St. He and his father were members of our Indian Guides Winnebago tribe. Many fun times with that group that included Rich Baske, Bob Snell, Bob Barton, and others. Bob was a good friend in my early years in Flint. My condolences to his family. I recall that in high school he used to drive around in a red MG.

On behalf of the 1959 graduating class of Flint Central High School, I send condolences to Bob's family and friends.

Bob was one of the sharpest engineers I've had the pleasure to work with on many V-6 projects. I also know he was a great father and family man. He will be missed for sure!

Bob, I always looked forward to seeing U at the Retirees club meetings on Mondays. U always kept me informed about the classic Buick Reattas. I still have my 2 Reatta Convertibles and they will always remind me about you. We shall miss U and Agnes at our Holiday Lunch next week. U will reconnect with Agnes now and may U both Rest in Peace.

Bob was a great person, colleague and engineer. I worked with Bob. His was proud of his family and work. His love for the Buick 'brand' always showed, and wore it as a badge of honor. We will miss him.

Marc and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry to hear of your dads passing. Love and hugs from both of us.

Thank you, Bob for all you did for me as an engineer and as a friend. You'll never know how much you influenced my career in a positive way.
May you and Agnes reconnect and RIP.
