I just heard of Bobby's passing last night and it is hard for me to believe. Bob was such a great guy who never had a bad word for anybody. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. I regret that he never had a chance to enjoy his retirement that he was so looking forward to.

So sorry to hear of Bob's untimely passing. He was a great guy, and a good friend for many years. I always enjoyed working with Bob on constuction jobs, and he made work almost seem like fun. My sincere condolances to all of Bob's family.

Our thoughts are with Janet and the Workman Family. Bob will be missed. He never said an unkind word and he always had a smile. Bob always brought out the best in everyone. He was an excellent model and mentor for his grandson Lee. It was fortunate that they spent so much time together this last spring. The best way to carry his memory is to try to be like him.

We will miss Bob at the Wednesday retirees get together. He always had a good story to tell and an uplifting laugh. The Golf League will not be the same. Work always seemed a little easier when Bob was on the job. Thanks for your friendship BobaLouie.
