Jennie,Tony, Nick, and Christina;
Mine and my families hearts and prayers go out to you and your families. Bob was a great man and took a chance when he hired me nearly 4 years ago. I had only known Bob a short while when he and Jennie were invovled in a gnarly car accident. I was sent down hiway 18 the next day or so by Jim Brock and saw where the collision had taken place.It moved me to commit to Bobs company and I maintained a frenetic pace until his return. I was terrified of Bob...

Bob, What a great man and business man. I once heard that being in business was nothing more than being kind to people and Bob mastered that. He was always gratious and did it with the best sense of humor. He has left on a great legacy with his wonderful family and business. Bob You're the best, we will all miss you! Best to your family, You're all in my prayers.

Jennie,Nick,Christina,and Tony~

I have known bob for many year as a good friend, I don't recall a single time that when he and I would be talking that we both didn't leave without our sides hurting or sore cheeks from the lively conversations that we had. I will miss Bob.

My deepest sympathies to the family,Toni and Jennie

"The Greek" will always be a loving memory of our High School days. It's people like him that made the world a happier place. "Gods garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best".

How could you not know Bob? Bob and I became friends early in grade school. Always first with and idea, opinion or laugh Bob was always involved. He would get that look in his eye and then that half cocked smile. You knew things were about to happen.

Bob and I played basketball by the hour. Pickup at the Boy's Club,in City leauge or at Lent Bob was always a competitor. I still laugh at the time Bob gave "free" throw lessons to the 7th grade coach, my Dad. At 86 years old my...

Good friends, with a love of life and people. We shared many, many good times I shall never forget. He used to walk me home.

Bob , my buddy forever you are sorely missed, and this sure came as a shock to me.
