So sorry to hear of your loss , Bob was a friend and boss to many in Havre. He was a very well liked and known fella. He was a boss to many in my family , and if he was your boss , he was also your friend. My brother Bobby Felton was a good friend to your dad and brother Bob. A lot of people waiting for him in Heaven.
