I met Bob at the Ohio Asphalt Expo Prayer Breakfast this past winter and have just learned of his passing. Bob sat next to me and made me feel like part of the Ohio CAT community right away. I was grateful for his presence and it is an incredible shame that he has passed. He made a positive impact on my life and encouraged me to continue in my field.

Kevin I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was always good to me and I would certainly have been at his service had I been in town. Thinking of your family during this difficult time.

Kevin, I will always remember going to Mid Ohio with you and your brother to watch the races. I am terribly sorry for your family's loss and equally sorry I could not make it to the memorial service as I have had my little girl all weekend and did not feel it was right to bring her as she has never been to a funeral. Whatever I can do please do not hesitate to ask.

It has been over 30 years since I last saw Bob and yet the news of his passing has brought me to my knees, Rocked my world and I am overwhelmed with the loss of him. I wish that I would have told him how much he meant to me. I can only hope that you can feel me now my Brother.

Bob loved family and enjoyed all family get togethers. He will be greatly missed not only as my nephew, but by the entire family....and in addition to his wonderful gardening, he was a great cook, and made the worlds' best scalloped potato's. Love to all who loved him.

Our fondest memory of Bob was the July 4th parade in Hilliard. Bob and Alanna both waving happily as we rode by. I wanted so much to turn the horse and let Alanna meet Lana. It was happy moment for all of us. God bless Bob, his family and his friends.
