I worked with Bob for many years in Engineering Service at the VA Medical Center in Canandaigua. Bob was supervisor of the Grounds Maintenance Section, responsible for the all of the grounds, roads and parking lots on the 160+ acre campus. He was very dedicated to the job, making sure all were maintained in top-notch condition. Bob was a great asset to the facility and the veterans it supported.
