Bob was a real gentleman who had quick wit and a great sense of humor. He was fun to be with and I enjoyed playing golf with him over the years. God created heaven for people like him. God bless him and his family. Brian Lane

Feeling really sad to see such a wonderful man go. He was always asking how we were doing, never about himself. He will be in our thought and prayers forever. R.I.P Bob.!!
