I had the wonderful oppertunity to work with Bob in the 1980's at Flower City in Kirkwood. Bob was a well respected designer and had hundreds of clients who came to him on a regular basis. Bob, you will be missed by all.

My
Deepest sympathy to you, Mick, and your mother on Bob's passing. My last memory of him was a trip to Flower city. I went in to get some arrangements made up and by chance he waited on me. We reconnected as old neighbors. He was extremely helpful and talented and created lovely arrangements for my party. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and that you will find peace knowing he is in a better place and no longer suffering. With fond memories of 67th Street - Arlene Present Sullivan
