Carmen and Family,

From being Bob's Friend, High School Buddy, Broad/Haguer, Hi-Lo Poker Game Enthusiast, and Fellow Marine for over the past 60 years it is hard to know where to begin. I could fill a book with all of the cherished memories and good times we have had. He will be missed very much by all who had the pleasure to know him and serve with him.

Elaine and I have your family in our prayers and God Bless you all.

May God hold Bob's family and friends in the Palm of His Hand. Bob was a great man and a 3M legend. I was a newly hired young 3M sales rep sitting at the same banquet table in St. Paul, MN many years ago the night Bob was promoted to Account Executive. What a wonderful evening that was. Bob was so emotional that night. I never forgot how much that evening and event meant to Bob and all of us that knew him. We will miss Bob.

He taught us how live a full and happy life as well as land and manage one of the biggests accounts 3M company has ever had world wide. He was a pro's pro in our world.
