Our condolences to Ellie and Bobs family, he was such a nice guy that we bough hay from for years. He always had a smile on his face.

Bob was a good friend of my Dad, and probably part of the reason my parents moved out to Eagle to raise their family. We visited many times while growing up in Eagle. Bob was always a character, a very likeable guy. I'm sorry for the loss to the family. You're in my prayers
