I was going through some keepsakes and came across the slip of paper in the picture. I said, "Oh my, Bob Leeson! He gave me this paper when he was my foreman, when I worked sewer construction. I decided to google his name and I came to this page. Bob, often, talked about his sons on the job. Bob was a very laid back foreman who was knowledgeable, competent, and always in command. He was brilliant and easy to be supervised by. I pray he rests in peace as he brought peace to every job we did and to our very work environment! I extend delayed condolences to his children, grandchildren, and all family and friends. Grace & Peace.
