I'm going to miss you Bobby! You made a great impact on me by being a down to earth guy. We had many conversations where you would listen to me vent about my struggles while struggling with your own. You were always there to help me with my stress. Your impact on me has taught me to forget the little things in life that are difficult, and appreciate what's important right in front of me. You are going to be missed very much. I wish we had more time together. I miss working on your truck and hearing that big laugh you had when talking about stupid people. Love ya brother, RIP. flashpoint

Bob you will definately be missed, I remember riding on the back of your motorcycle going up Hamilton Hill in the freezing cold. Seeing your smiling face at our house when you hung around my brother (Paul). Remember waving at you as you passed by me while you were driving the Keebler truck, you always had a HUGE smile and gave me the biggest wave. I don't think of you as just a friend, I also think of you as a brother who gave me advice when I was a kid. I am so sorry Bob!!! RIP We will miss you for sure!!! I know we will meet up again, You were always so sweet to me, Thank you for being my friend along with being Paul's. YOU WILL SO BE MISSED!!! RIP Brother Bob (Bobby) <3 love you Bro
