His good friend from Pittsburgh, who also went to U of M, was there too. His name was Ron. I don't remember his last name.

Bob, Ron, and I drove from Miami to Harrisburg on my first trip home at the end of the summer of 1969. It was in...

I met Bob in 1969 when we attended the University of Miami. We connected when we were both looking for car riders to share driving from Miami to Pennsylvania. I was from Harrisburg, and Bob was from Pittsburgh.

One of my memories of Bob

Colleen and family my heartfelt sympathy are sent to you at the time of Bob's passing. Will pray for strength during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He worked on our house at Ravinia in Hills and Dales back in 2003. He was such a nice man. My greatest sympathy to Jason, the rest of the family,and especially Bob's wife, Colleen.

So going to miss Bob's laugh and stories and his kindness! My prayers and thoughts are given to help protect your heart at this sad time. He loved his family and was so proud of his kids and Grandbabies!

We were so sorry to see that Bob has passed. He had done some work for us last year and we were looking forward to working with him again.
