So sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. We had been neighbors for many years. My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

I am saddened to hear of Bob passing away. I grew up 4 doors down the street from The Freson Family, and had the honor and privilege of working for him and with him from 1989-96. Bob was not only a great man, but he was a tremendous mentor, leader, neighbor, and friend.
Bob helped instill a work ethic in me that is just as prevalent today as it was 31 years ago when I started working for him at HeatCool. I learned so much from Bob . Everything from working on old furnaces and boilers, installing window/wall air conditioning units in high rise buildings, to rehabbing various apartment buildings throughout Chicago to working on the farm in Wisconsin, there never seemed to be anything Bob couldn’t accomplish, and he would never hesitate to teach or share his knowledge with anyone who was willing to learn from him. I will forever be grateful and have always cherished the many years I got to spend with Bob and the entire Freson Family.

As you can see from this photo, what a fun guy. Always bringing a lot of energy for life where ever he went. A devoted father and loving uncle to me. I am very blessed to have had such a wonderful uncle. He was a very important part of my family.
