Bob was my dentist for many years. I looked forward to seeing him for my dental health but more so for his wonderful spirit and humor!

Just today I learned of the passing of one of my favorite people. Dr. Bob. The good doctor or "the tooth fairy" was we called him as kids was such a special man. Bob pulled my first youth at the ripe old age of 5 years old that was 1965. He somehow made going to the dentist not a scary thing. He made us laugh and sometimes laugh so hard we cried, yes what a gift with people he had. I am so sad about his passing but I know that heaven now has the best dentist there ever was. As for me well Bob took care of my dental needs from the time I was 5 until he retired and then his son after him. I will always remember that big smile, his larger than life personality his unmistakable from the gut laugh and the noise he would make when he wound up to give my kid sister a kiss (he never really gave her a kiss) would just pretend because she was so shy. Oh how we laughed. To the family my deepest deepest condolences and to doc. ... until we meet again in the Lords house. GODSPEED MY FRIEND tonight I have a heavy heart I will miss you deeply.

Bob was my dentist and friend for many years. While others feared dentists, I relished my visits with him; we swapped jokes and stories, shared trusts, and greatly enjoyed our times together.
