I worked with Bob back in our Mobil days. He was always kind and gracious. One of my favorite memories was how grateful and excited he was when I special ordered his SMWSS MOCO jacket. One of the only work jackets he ever wore, and he wore it for years.
He will be missed. My prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.

This is so heartbreaking, Bob was a dear friend who I admired and he will be missed. His family will be in our prayers ...

I knew Bob for many years after he was hired by Aera - we worked together at Midway. Amazed at how this human mountain served for so long in the Air Force; maybe they needed somebody to occasionally pick up planes and position them?
Bob was a pleasure to be with. Upbeat, funny, and positive - a joy to have on any team. Didn't take the "easy" path through life: Eagle Scout, Div I athlete (ROLL TIDE), and dedicated USAF serviceman. Honored to know him.
Donation to WWP in his memory. C. Eicher

I worked with Bob for several years at Coalinga. He was a special man! He saw the good in all and got along with everyone. Prayers and condolences to his family.
