Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Bob´s passing. I enjoyed working with him for 10 years. We followed similar career paths starting out at Ferris State. I enjoyed spending time with him on job sites and taping into his vast knowledge. I´m so sorry for your loss Mike DuBuis

Bob was one of the most respected men to ever work at this company and his presence will forever be missed. He influenced so many of us in a positive way. He was like "that dad" that you always wanted to impress and gain approval. That voice could always be heard throughout the halls of Quality Air and as Dan McDowell described it "the Booming Whisper" I feel so sorry for his family but they can rest assured he was a GREAT man!

I enjoyed working with Bob at QA for about 19 years (2000-2019). He was kind of like a father-figure to me in many ways (his booming voice will be missed, for sure, but more importantly, he was there for my family and I in one or two of our lowest times.). I always admired him for always trying to do what was right. My thoughts and prayers go out for Bob´s family and closest friends. He was a good man, and he will be missed.

To the Family of Bob Middlebrook, I have many great memories of working with Bob over the last 20 years ar Quality Air. He was a man of great integrity. He was always willing to go the extra mile for any situation. May God comfort you at this time and give you peace.

Outside of my immediate family, Bob was a man I consider one of my greatest mentors. He hired me about 20 years ago and was so many things to me. A boss, a counselor, an advocate, occasionally a disciplinarian but most importantly a true and caring friend. He was a great, honest, and honorable man. His legacy will live on through those he touched in his life, certainly through me. I will miss him.

My sympathies to Bob's family. I had the privilege of working with Bob at Quality Air. He was a great co-worker and a truly nice man.
