Not sure what to say?

I realize this is several years after losing Bob but I never got to see this before. I worked for Bob for about 15 years as his assistant and later along beside him as he worked with Furniss, Shearer & Leineweber. He was a wonderful person to work with and for him. He hired my son at his personal home. He was by far the most wonderful person I ever had the honor of working for. I will miss forever Bob as my boss and also my neighbor.

Goodbye, Bob ... Our friendship was a good one and you helped me through some difficult times in both sickness and health. I'll remember you with fondness always.

My sincere warm regards go out to Bob's family during this difficult time. I was Bob's secretary in the early 80's for a couple of years and he was such a great boss. We came into the computer decade together, and I will always remember his wonderful sense of humor....as we struggled. Some of those tense moments were always a great laugh LATER. We kept in touch through the years, and Bob was a great help to my son with an on-the-job injury 20 years after I left his employment. We all...

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you....if you carry on with the joy and spirit that surrounded him you will do him proud.

So Long, Bob. How well I remember
last year's Lincoln Hi's Class of '46. You and I read the Class
Will; the same we read together 60 years ago. Good Bye!
