Bob, the first time I met you, I was slightly intimidated by your height, size and booming voice. However the first time you brought paperwork for me to correct, your compassion, knowledge and attention to detail impressed me. You will be greatly missed!! See you down the road! Rest in peace good sir!!

Consummate professional to the end.

A very good man, a great life. I got the pleasure of growing up in my younger years around him. To Leslie and the family, he is now watching over you and never far away in thought.

I know you will rest in peace, but you left us too young!! Wish I could be at your service, but you will have to take my heart instead as you will be loved and cherished by me always. You will always be in my thoughts.

Always loved Bob.
He was a straight shooter
that you could count on.
In Montreal, after a night of drinking
I wasn't ready to return to room when he decided to leave.
He left, came back, threw me-250 pounds- over his shoulder
and walking past the angry bouncers yelling
"I never leave my buddies behind"
I got a few other stories, but that's the one that summed him up.
