I will miss you Bob! Was so saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Condolences and prayers go out to the family. He was a great guy! He has done work for Omni over the years and I was able to talk with him as he came through, being the receptionist. So glad I saw him a few weeks back as he came by to check on work being done. He was a perfectionist with his work and will be
greatly missed by many!

Dad I miss you so much !! Everyday I and without you tears me apart, when you left this world a piece of me left with you! I love and miss you and hope wherever you are you find peace!

Uncle Bob has always been a bigger than life character to me. How could such a small man know so much? When he smiled, I smiled. When he laughed, I laughed. Everything about him was contagious. So many people knew him for his jokester personality, including me and he made more people happy that I think he even realized. Every time I saw him he had a life lesson or theory to teach me and I clung to a lot of his advice. I hope I can touch as many peoples lives as Bob did. My heart will never be the same without him, and I hope wherever he is right now, he is either giving someone advice or making them laugh because he was so good at both! I love you dearly Uncle Bob.

Mindi Zehring

Dad, words cannot express how much I miss you and how much my heart is breaking. I pray that you are at peace. Know that I love you more than anything!!!

Bob was a long time friend as well as boss and mentor. He helped me through some difficult times of my own. He's the only employer I ever had that thanked me as he handed me my check. All our great times at Salt Plains on company trips. In truth, I think of him a lot as I still drive his 2000 black and pewter GMC pickup. I never named the truck. I think now I will call it Bob
