Read MoreI remember in 1998 Bob and Oscar Reynolds taught me how to railroad. Bob was always kind and patient while training the new conductors coming in. He and his sidekick Oscar gave me a nickname (floyd) because I was a barber just before I took up railroading. Really missed them when they retired. My deepest sympathy to Bob's family.

Bob was a great neighbor, along with Paula, to our mother, Mary Herndon. We always knew that we could depend on him to help mom, and that she was safe in her elderly years because she had such wonderful people to help us look after her. Miss you Bob. Paula, WE LOVE YOU!

Prayers for the whole family. Bob is a great friend who shared many of his train stories with me. We spent many Sundays together running trains at the antique toy mall. He will be greatly missed. I know he touched many lives and many Hearts.
