Bob was a wonderful, compassionate man. After Bob and Linda married, my husband and I enjoyed getting together with them as often as possible. Bob and Linda visited us in Oklahoma and after we moved back to Ohio we reconnected. Ken, my husband, always looked forward to Bob’s visits to his coffee shop. A great man has left this earth, but he left a lasting legacy in his children and grandchildren. Rest In Peace Bob.
