We are very sorry about Bob's passing. Even though we didn't get the chance to see him much we always heard about what was going on in his life through his sister Debbie. He was generous and caring man who will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Mary Jo & Jim Forsythe

Bob was my brother and will always be. He taught me a lot about life as we were growing up as I was allowed to participate in sports and other activities with him. Being two years younger I had the advantages of competing with older boys. I have always looked up to Bob as his accomplishments were many. Anywhere Boo-Boo went he got deserving respect and admiration. He was one of the few people who helped me acclimate back into society when returning from Vietnam. Enough good can't be said...

Bobby was my big brother. I always looked up to him for all his accomplishments. I admire him most for being the father and grandfather he was. Most of all, I admire him for fighting the good fight all these years,through all his adversities. We didn't see much of each other these last years, Bob, but we love you and will miss you. Love you Kevin and Jon, we'll get together soon. Debbie

I had the privledge of working with Bob at State Farm when I first started there. He was an awesome guy and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bob was my best friend and fraternity brother for 45 years. He and I shared many memories together. I am a better person for having known him. He will be missed.

I remember Bob as a very funny man. We hung out quite a few times at his house off of Koke Mill. I hope my friend, his son Kevin, will find his way and have peace.

Few things in life compare to the loss of blood..a father..a brother..a son. No words spoken or typed can ease the passing of those who were so deeply loved...the time we spend with each other often seem to be fleeting but the memories will be there forever ...but we will always remember them with a fondness that cannot be touched by the passing of time...Uncle Bob,you will be missed forever..not for days..not for weeks..but for the remaining time of everyone you touched with your life and...

I worked with Bob for several years in Springfield. He was a wonderful mentor to me as a new management person and I appreciated his wisdom.
He had a ready wit and a wonderful heart. He was a very kind person.
I appreciated his intelligence and his humor. I counted him as a dear friend and you always "started right up" with him, no matter how long it had been since we had seen one another.
He was a wonderful source of support personally as well - always ready to listen and...

I worked with Bob for many years in Springfield. He was a great boss and a very good friend. He will be missed, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
