Robert's talks with us about baseball will be forever missed. He was spot on about the Braves and the Brewers all of the time. He was our go to guy for stats and anything baseball. Sitting with Robert and our family for Packers games under the tent will always be in our heart. Robert made us laugh. He was our connection to the old neighborhood. He was our adopted grandpa. We miss Robert. We will remember him fondly and always keep our discussions about life "between us, him, and the fencepost."

Bob hired me in 1966, first job at age 16 as a stock boy. Got the interview through E.T.K. as I was in the DB band. At age 18 it was behind the counter. Best seven years of my life. The income off set college expenses and they always needed help on weekends with customers four deep. What a great learning experience. Bob, Charlie and of certainly Vic were sales, marketing and customer service Class 101. All the fundamentals were there at that store and it stuck with me throughout my career. Bob's ability to do the math in his head and count out change were second to none. Great memories. Rest in piece my friend.

My memories of Bob , his dad Vic and brother Charlie and Victor's Market are fondly recalled.
Bob taught all us "stock boys" about hard work and responsibility. I am saddened by his passing.
