One of the most friendly men I´ve ever known. Never a harsh word and that´s saying so much this day and time. I worked for Duke Energy and he was an electrician. A great guy!

I knew Bob through our membership at Elkin Presbyterian Church. He was a quiet, friendly man who will be missed. Our prayers are with Bob's family and friends.
