Bob was my ex-father-in-law, and someone who I remember fondly. He was unfailingly optimistic, upbeat and always ready to lend a helping hand. He also could put together an awesome Thanksgiving spread :) He was a wonderful grandfather to my sons, who will always feel his presence and love in their lives. My prayers are with his family.

Bob's legacy is what we should all strive for: he made the lives of those around him better. Whether with family or friends, he was there to encourage and support.

We would like to thank everyone that has such good memories and kind words for my Dad. He is free now. He will always be in my heart and my memories and they all leave me smiling and laughing. Although the tears come, they are full of respect and thankfulness that I had such a wonderful Dad. Thanks to you all.

Barbara, Patty and Family,
It was my pleasure to have known Bob over the years at SunTrust and after. I considered him a true and respected friend. He was always there willing to help anyone with anything whether it be personal or for work. I still use him today as an example when training new employees when they are afraid of not knowing the answer to a client's question. I'll always remember how Bob handled this situation: He would say to the client, “That's a great question, let's...
