To the Banister Family
So sorry to hear of the lost of your love one. I met Bob when I worked for KDOT at the same location, Bob was such a wonderful person and always had some kind of story to share about a member of his family and grandchildren he loved all of you with all his heart. Always so happy he lived his live to the fullest. I remember when I would cook for all the guys at the plant and he just loved my Mexican food that I would fix them all. He would tell me Rose I hope you work here for a long, long, time not only for your food but you are a great person to work around you keep all of us guys in line here. I was the person who would enter the reports of the bridge work for the guys at the Material and Research Plant for KDOT. I made sure they enjoyed all the holidays and all even hung their Christmas stocking up for them with each of their names on them. Bob enjoyed all of that so much. I am sure that all of his family and friends are going to miss him so much but just remember the guy with the big smile for all and the wonderful memories he has left behind for all of you. How lucky you all where to have him in your life. God Bless you my friend now go and rest in Gods arms forever. It was a pleasure knowing you.
God Bless all his family too.
