I was raised in close relationship to the Black Family. After WWII, I met Bob and was amaised at his friendly composure. I visited him in his radio shack (W6RWU} and he treated me like his own son. He was a great man & I never forgot him. I am lookin forward to renewing our frindship in a far better place than here, Heaven. We were both related through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I worked with "hyper" Bob for 18 years at Pac Bell. I never met a finer, kinder gentleman and never recall hearing him say a bad word about anyone. My condolences to the family.

Bob never breezed through his career with the "Telephone Company", he did it at a full run! May he rest in Peace. We are thankful for his service to our country. From his fellow co-worker.
