The photo of Bob says it all - kind eyes, a big smile, and a mischievous attitude. So sorry to hear he is no longer blessing this world with his loving heart and quick wit. Much love to the family.

This was heartbreaking news to hear of Bob´s passing. We spent many childhood hours together as our parents played cards regularly, either at the Kolb´s home or ours, the Rocks. Carol, Sue and Bob, Bill, Pam and myself, Jackie, spent hours playing hide and seek, sharing meals together and just having lots of fun. Back then families didn´t have lots of money and often the parents got together to play cards while the children played often heard very loudly , getting into a game of some sort. Those childhood memories stick with you your entire life and even though we have grown up and raised our families changed various jobs etc, those friends you make as a child stay with you. You feel as close today as you did back then though you may have not seen each other in years. Carol and Sue and all of the faniliy members our hearts go out to you. Bob was such a great guy and he surely will be missed. Do know this I will always cherish our childhood memories together. Peace .love and Prayers. Jackie (Rock) Golden
