He saw combat in Vietnam and was a true warrior and patriot. Bob loved his country and was very proud of his service. Bob worked in the Information Technologies Recruiting and Contracting field for over 25 years, and is respected by many in his industry. He began his own company, RBurger & Associates, LLC this past year. His astute professionalism earned him much respect from his peers, associates and past employees. Bob loved building at his beloved Camp Tranquility. He took a piece of river front property and turned it into a real vacation oasis. Building a dock, woodshed, porch, screen porch and workbench. He spent his winters planning his next projects to improve his summer get-a-way spot.

To Cheri and the rest of the family.
I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of this good man who was a good friend to me, and an invaluable mentor, constantly advising me and providing an ear.
I had the pleasure of working with Bob and an even greater pleasure of sitting down to meals with him and his lovely, beautiful wife Cheri.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

I am so sorry about Bob's passing. Bob was a gentleman and a true professional. My most recent memory of Bob was all about his stories about his place up north. RIP Bob. My best to your family.

Bob was a true professional, a gentleman, and a caring and wonderful individual. I knew him through work and liked and respected him. He was one of the easiest persons to strike up a conversation with. I was shocked to hear of his passing. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you Cheri who he loved dearly, and to family and friends.
