Sincere sympathy and condolences to Cindy and Bob's family. I always looked forward to seeing him at Wick Buildings meetings, here and abroad! He had a hard time keeping his love of music any type of a secret, as tales of the places he played and the people that he shared all types of jam sessions with quickly took precedence over any business talk! Thanks for all those stories, Bob, and thanks for being my friend.

I met Bob in 7th grade at Paddock. I was always envious of his organ playing. I'd go to his house after school and he would try to teach me to play. I remember being at his house when I met his sister, Susan. Her and Greg took us out and I can remember driving down Rt 14, just before Rt. 59, when we did a spin out in the snow. We were all fine. In 8th grade, Bob and I walked together down the aisle to graduation. In high school, we went our own ways, but had mutual friends that made it so we would always run into each other. As time went on, we became better friends. We worked together for a while, then lost touch, and through mutual friends, met up again at a few parties. We were always special friends. I would call him periodically on his birthday, as who could forget a February 14th Birthday? I called Bob while he was in Dixon selling his house. He was very excited and told me that he had gotten married to a wonderful woman named Cindy. I wouldn't know her but he was head over heels in LOVE!! When I think of Bob, a big smile comes to my face. He will always be very special to me. Bob will be remembered and held in people's hearts for many years to come. He left us all too soon. I'm so very sorry for your loss....

Wes and I have had such heavy hearts since hearing Bob passed. We have spent so many fine hours with Bob and Cindy. He was like a brother to Wes. He was such a caring man with a gentle soul with lots of music in his heart and talent he shared with us all. It was a pleasure in our lives to know him well and be part of his life. You will be so missed Bob. We love you beyond words Cindy and remain with you! Jan and Wes
