Although I never really met Robert. I knew Linda since she was a child. Death is so permanent, that we need to keep the warm memories wrapped around us. Our job is to keep on keepin' on.

You will be missed! You always went out of your way to help everyone, even while you were fighting For your own life. We will miss our little dinners in FL. So many fond memories for the family to share. Like the time Tim totaled your new Nova!

Besides our our common ground in the HVAC industry, discussing business issues, certain inspectors and the like, I had the absolute pleasure of spending many days for a lot of years in the field with Bob hunting pheasants and quail. Bob was always willing to put himself in the thick stuff trying to help root birds out of heavy cover so his friends and family could get more opportunities. Bob was always like that, thinking, caring and doing for others around him. No matter what task was at hand, he always had a great attitude, a gentle demeanor and made the best of the situation. I'm not really sure you could find anybody that didn't enjoy Bob's company. I am very fortunate to have spent as much time with Bob as I did, hunting, reliving hunting stories even playing Euchre on the island against our Canadian neighbors. Rest up now Bob, we'll hook up again some day and when we do, the fields will be easy walking, the dogs will hold a steady point and the birds will be plentiful. Proud to have you as a friend.
