Shirley and family, I am so, so sorry to hear about Bob. I remember Bob as one of the most hard working men I ever worked with. His passion for cooking and sharing it with all of us in the meat dept at Eagle was always a treat. And he shared so many of his recipes too. I have many fond memories of our days working at Eagle together. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God's peace be with you all.
