To the Family & Friends of Bob,

I wish to express my deepest sympathy with the passing of Bob. May those fond memories of him provide comfort and strength each and every day. Our friendship began in 1972 when I returned to CAT from the military service. Bob and I worked together side-by-side in Q-Bay. I was his shear helper. We were a great team. It was a pleasure to work with him. He was a dedicated and positive employee. I am grateful for that opportunity and the lasting friendship that was established. He will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

May God Bless!!
