Linda, Tim, Lisa, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Uncle Bob was a great man and will never be forgotten. I remember many years ago he rode with me and my mom and dad to the reunion. He and I talked Tiger baseball there and back. He loved his Tigers. I honestly was thinking about him just last week and was going to call but life happens. Now my dad has his last brother with him in Heaven. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, cousin Jeff & Allison.

Bob was a great man who Loved the Lord and Southern Gospel Music he always had a great smile on his face and loved to take pictures of all the different Gospel Groups ,I have several in my collection of pictures that he has taken of me with The Royalheirs The Calvarymen Quartet at different concerts locations and many from Bayshore. I would see Bob at Classic Coney Island Restaurant in Genesee and the last time I seen him he told me that this was going to be his last year to take pictures...
